lyrics

Mass communication
Listen to the sound of the money-go-round
Sophisticated pipes full of nothing
But the babble of cash from old McScrooge’s swimming pool

I fought the war
And the war won
I waved with my pen
And they gave me a gun
And now I’m shooting shadows
In the land of the setting sun

Dreams in black and white
Projections of the day
Written in the night
Monsters that you meet
Reflections of yourself
In murky waters deep

There’s no business
Like the daily news
The bleeding baked beans never tasted so good
Celebrities are dying
To get back to Hollywood

I’ve been hypnotised
By the flickering lights
Of the magic show, chasing shadows
And I still can’t be sure
If they’re yours or if they’re mine
