Say goodbye to peace and calm
Because they've decided who to bomb
Big plans at the pentagon
So I turn my TV on
All I see is Girls Gone Wild
And who's the father of this child?
While idol judges make their decisions
I want to kill my television
A generation raised on Road Rules
Punk'd and Jerry
"Hail apathy", says the church of TV
A new religion
What a strange way we decide
To turn our backs on genocide
That is just what we have tried
While all those other people died
We dated blindly and factored fear
The simple life made it so clear
Bread and circus will sell a war
It doesn't matter what you're fighting for
I want to go back to the golden days of television
When news was news and everything else was fiction
The A-Team, CHiPs and Dynasty, those were my favorite shows
Jack Tripper made me laugh and MTV actually played videos
