[Verse 1]
A7 One time in London I’d gone out for a walk A7 Past a place called Hyde Park where people talk Asus4 ’Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view A7 To anyone passing by, that’s who they’re talking to
[Verse 3]
A7 There was someone on a platform talking to the folks A7 About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes A7 “It’s too bright a light,” he said, “for anybody’s eyes A7 If you’ve never seen one it’s a blessing in disguise”
[Verse 3]
A7 I moved in closer, got up on my toes A7 Two men in front of me were coming to blows A7 Man was saying something ’bout children when they’re young A7 | A7 | % | % | % | Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung
[Verse 3]
A7 “The news of the day is on all the time A7 All the latest gossip, all the latest rhyme A7 Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free A7 | A7 | % | % | % | Don’t let an egg get laid in it by something you can’t see”
[Verse 4]
A7 “Pray for peace!” he said. You could feel it in the crowd A7 My thoughts began to wander. His voice was ringing loud A7 “It will destroy your family, your happy home is gone A7 | A7 | % | % | % | No one can protect you from it once you turn it on”
[Verse 5]
A7 “It will lead you into some strange pursuits A7 Lead you to the land of forbidden fruits A7 Will scramble up your head and drag your brain about A7 | A7 | % | % | % | % | % | % | % | Sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out”
[Verse 6]
A7 “It’s all been designed,” he said, “to make you lose your mind A7 And when you go back to find it, there’s nothing there to find A7 Every time you look at it, your situation’s worse A7 | A7 | % | % | % | If you feel it grabbing out for you, send for the nurse"
[Verse 7]
A7 The crowd began to riot and they grabbed hold of the man A7 There was pushing, there was shoving and everybody ran A7 T.V. crew was there to film it, they jumped right over me A7 | A7 | % | % | % | Later on that evening, I watched it on T.V. (fade out)
