Don't touch that dial

Television screen
Your face turning green
Don't listen to the news
They don't know what you hear
They never make it clear
They like it if you stay confused

Propaganda time, the official line
You're hungry, you get fed
Everlasting smile
You must admire their style
But they're just a talking head

Television voice
Don't give you any choice
You only hear the man
Don't take them in
You don't know where they been
Cause it's a complex plan

They keep you nice and quiet
Even control your diet
You're hungry, you get fed
Teach you to be meek
Till all you are is weak
Till you're just a talking head
Television scream
This ought to be a dream
Remember what I say
Don't be hypnotised by sugarcoated lies
Don't switch it on today

It's the way things are
From that pickle jar
You're hungry, you get fed
But if you play the game
You become the same
Another talking head
