they sent us home to watch the show comin on the little screen;
A man named ike was in the white house
Big black limousine;
There were many shows to follow
from hooter to doodyville
Though i saw them all
I cant recall which cartoon was real
The coon-skin caps
Yankee bats
The "hound dog" mans big start;
The a-bomb fears
Annette had ears
I lusted in my heart
A young man from boston set sail the new frontier
And we watched the dream dead-end in dallas
They buried innocence that year
I know its true
Oh so true
Cause i saw it on tv
We gathered round to hear the sound comin on the little screen
The grief had passed
The old men laughed
And all the girls screamed
Cause four guys from england took us all by the hand
It was time to laugh
Time to sing
Time to join the band
But all too soon
We hit the moon
And covered up the sky;
They built their bombs
And aimed their guns
And still i dont know why
The dominoes tumbled and big business roared;
Every night at six
They showed the pictures and counted up the score
I know its true
Oh so true
Cause i saw it on tv
The old man rocks among his dreams
A prisoner of the porch;
"the light
" he says "at the end of the tunnel
Was nothin but a burglars torch"
And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free
But they chained my mind to an endless tomb
When they took my only son from me
I know its true
Oh so true
Cause i saw it on tv
I know its true
Oh so true
Cause i saw it on tv
