Well they said it couldn't be done    But they always had it in mind    A picture machine! Like a radio    But a three-dimensional kind    Seeing what words could only say    Extending the views so far away    So much to see, so much to show    Let's see how far this thing can go       What's on T.V.?    What's on T.V.?    What's on T.V.?    What's on T.V.?       Well they said it shouldn't be done    But they always had it in mind    Charging a fee for the quality    And a bigger one to advertise    Too many viewpoints go unheard    When money talks so undisturbed    Here's the market - Fill the blanks    For exploitation we say thanks       What's on T.V.? - Fuck you!    What's on T.V.? - Fuck you!    What's on T.V.?    What's on T.V.?       Well they said it couldn't be done    But they plugged into our minds    A one-way delivery feeding tube    Of reality simplified    Now our thoughts are in mass production    Our nerves de-densitized    This apex of invention    Has replaced our ears & eyes       Well I'd rather sing songs about nature    Being happy or having fun    But I asked at the desk when I got here    And they said it couldn't be done       Too much T.V.!    Too much T.V.!    Too much T.V.!    Too much T.V.!       More at ease with songs against T.V.    That's something we all know about    And we'd rather get off on the hatred    Than imagine the living without    I been watching too much telly    Almost turned my brain to jelly    Now I'm playing my cassettes    Get back to the music before you forget!    Before you forget!    Before you forget!    Before you forget!       Turn it off!
