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

          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"

  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

     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"

 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"

 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"

      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"

    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.
