That's The Power Of Television

I say that, "nothing in life's for free"
You say, "that's the power of TV"

And all of the time we spent indoors
We should have spent talking
Once upon a time we felt like lovers
Or at least we were trying. I want to believe
The visions I built, were solid until you broke free

I say, "just be what you want to be"
You say, "that's the power of TV"

And for all of the times we watched the news
We could have been learning
Did not have the skills to pick and choose
Did not have a tape in our machine
So, who's in control, mind, body and soul - so remote

The truth is plain to see
Always switching from red to green to blue
Seems I've gone and lost you for good
