Color TV Blues by the great Don McLean just about sums up my feelings about all this shit.
The kids that fought the war are livin' outta state
And the CIA is runnin' things of late
When we elect a man, we put him on the spot
'cause if he don't play ball, he might get shot
The national security keeps it from the voters
'cause what's good for America isn't good for General Motors
We went and found ourselves some mighty strange lovers
The kind that like to blow from underneath the covers
Well millions can avoid with Dr Sigmund Freud
Those realities of life that tend to make me paranoid
Lookin' for the answer just gives me indigestion
I spent so much time, just dealin' with the question
We'd rather talk of dollars and forget about events
When what we have to decide is; Does it all make sense?
Well everybody's happy, I saw it on the news
But me, I' got a case of color TV blues
You know, just 'cause you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not trying t' get ya'
The kids that fought the war are livin' outta state
And the CIA is runnin' things of late
When we elect a man, we put him on the spot
'cause if he don't play ball, he might get shot
The national security keeps it from the voters
'cause what's good for America isn't good for General Motors
We went and found ourselves some mighty strange lovers
The kind that like to blow from underneath the covers
Well millions can avoid with Dr Sigmund Freud
Those realities of life that tend to make me paranoid
Lookin' for the answer just gives me indigestion
I spent so much time, just dealin' with the question
We'd rather talk of dollars and forget about events
When what we have to decide is; Does it all make sense?
Well everybody's happy, I saw it on the news
But me, I' got a case of color TV blues
You know, just 'cause you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not trying t' get ya'
