Lightbox Lyrics

I saw a politician on the Sunday news

There were words above his body in a cartoon balloon

They asked him his opinion as he tipped his coffee cup

I thought I heard him say that down is up

Light box giving me the evil eye

Won't somebody save me from myself

Everything you tell me is a dirty lie

But I keep buying what you have to sell

Light box dreaming and I can't wake up

Somebody save me from the news

Pull the plug because I've had enough

Of the I-D-I-O-T TV blues

The Minister of sinister was praying on his knees

Promising his viewers a spiritual striptease

Like Jesus in reverse he made water out of wine

And when he touched our eyes he made them blind

Light box giving me the evil eye

Won't somebody save me from myself

Everything you tell me is a dirty lie

But I keep buying what you have to sell

Light box dreaming and I can't wake up

Somebody save me from the news

Pull the plug because I've had enough

Of the I-D-I-O-T TV blues

I saw Madam Scandal talk into her microphone

A perfect light box woman living in my home

She leans toward the camera so I can see the work

Of the plastic surgeon she calls Dr. Dirk

Light box giving me the evil eye

Won't somebody save me from myself

Everything you tell me is a dirty lie

But I keep buying what you have to sell

Light box dreaming and I can't wake up

Somebody save me from the news

Pull the plug because I've had enough

Of these I-D-I-O-T TV blues
