Flat top intervention
  Bringin' home the new invention
  See it there in pieces on the ground
    A television war between the cynics and the saints
  Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
  A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
  Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
    And it's fallin' all around us
  Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
  Fallin' all around us
  I'll turn my head off for a while
    The tabloid generation's lost
  Choking on it's fear
  Used to be that's all we had to fear
    And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
  There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
  A visionary coward says that anger can be power
  As long as there's a victim on TV
    And it's fallin' all around us
  Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
  Fallin' all around us
  I'll turn my head off for a while
    And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
  And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
  Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
  Show me everything I need
  Show it all to me
  Show it all to me
    And it's fallin' all around us
  Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
  Fallin' all around us
  I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile
