Tiptoe out into the silence of the evening
 
 Looking through your windows I can't believe what I'm seeing
 
  
  I realise its effect
 
 And I'm as guilty as the next
 
 But I wish I could leave it
 
 I've been drained like all the rest 
 
 Must it come into our nest?
 
 Are we too weak to just leave it?
  
 
 Is it all so bad that the TV's always on?
  
 
 All the talk shows and the game shows and the documentaries
 
 Sycophants and egotists sharing with us their life stories
  
 
 I realise its effect
 
 And I'm as guilty as the next
 
 But I wish I could leave it
 
 I've been drained like all the rest 
 
 Must it come into our nest?
 
 Are we too weak to just leave it?
  
 
 Is it all so bad that the TV's always on?
 
 Is it all so bad that the TV's always on?
  
 
 Feel its pull taking over your lives
 
 Information pours out
 
 Fills a million little eyes
 
 Feel its pull taking over your lives
 
 Information pours out
 
 Fills a million little eyes...with lies
  
 
 (solo)
  
 
 Is it all so bad that the TV's always on?
 
 Is it all so bad that the TV's always on?
  
 
 If the need goes you will be alright
 
 Make a fresh start to another life
 
 And the faces you know and love will fade and die
 
 Turn it off, turn it off
 
 Turn it off it's easy
  
 
 You gotta lead the way to a better day
 
 You gotta lead the way to a better day.....yeah!
