Bringing home the new invention

See it there in pieces on the ground
  F#         G#m              E              B
A television war between the cynics and the saints

Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on

The tabloid generation's lost
E                B
Choking on it's fear

Used to be that's all we had to fear
     F#                  G#m              E               B
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
         G#m                   F#               E
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
   F#        G#m             E             B
A visionary coward says that anger can be power

As long as there's a victim on TV

 I'll turn my head off for a while

   And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
    C#m            B            G#m            A
And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
         C#m        B                        G#m  A
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
        C#m           B   F#  E
Show me everything I need
