Catalogs filled with shiny new things
Perfect children swinging on their swings
Matching napkins for matching plates
Matching forks and knives spoon feed their brains
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
If only you could have fresh start
TV is your work of art
TV is your work of art
It's a bandage for a bleeding a heart
You buy your house
You buy your car
Your wife and kids
And who you are
Computer screen
TV set
Where what you see
Is what you get
Houses lined up all in a row
Friendly neighbors watch their flowers grow
TV dinners sit on magazines
Perfect pictures that spoon feed your dreams
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
When did this madness start
TV is your work of art
TV is your work of art
It's a bandage for a bleeding a heart
The air is too thick to breathe
The air is too thick to see
The red light prison
On the freeway
Golden handcuffs around your wrists
Golden handcuffs around your wrists
You don't know how it came
To this
The rain comes pouring down
The rain can't help you now
Once your city's burning
And your matching napkins
And your matching plates
And your shiny car and freeway
Don't believe in heaven
Well you buy your house
And you buy your car
Your wife and kids
And who you are
Computer screen
TV set
Where what you see
Is what you get
You buy your house
And you buy your car
Your wife and kids
And who you are
Computer screen
TV set
Where what you see
Is what you get
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
When did this madness start
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
Bandage for a bleeding a heart
When did this madness start
