One time in London I'd gone out for a walk   Past a place called Hyde park where people talk   'Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view   To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to      There was someone on a platform talking to the folks   About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes   "It's too bright a light", he said, "For anybody's eyes   If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."      I moved in closer, got up on my toes   Two men in front of me were coming to blows   The man was saying something 'bout children when they're young   Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung      "The news of the day is on all the time   All the latest gossip, all the latest rhyme   Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free   Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see."      "Pray for peace!". he said, you could feel it in the crowd   My thoughts began to wander. His voice was ringing loud   "It will destroy your family, your happy home is gone   No one can protect you fro it once you turn it on."      "It will led you into some strange pursuits   Lead you to the land of forbidden fruits   It will scramble up your head and drag your brain about   Sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out."      "It's all been designed", he said, "To make you lose your mind   And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."   "Everytime you look at it, your situation's worse   If you feel it grabbing out for you, send for the nurse."      The crowd began to riot and they grabbed hold of the man   There was pushing, there was shoving and everybody ran   The T.V. crew was there to film it, they jumped right over me   Later on that evening, I watched it on T.V
