TV GOD

by Dana Lyons, copyright 1990


^EmAfter I was born I ^Gwent home to ^Awatch my ^EmTV

^EmEveryone was nice and their ^Gsmiles were ^Aso sparkily<sup>Em

Em</sup>I watched what made them happy and I ^Gwatched ^Awhat made them ^Emcry

^EmI learned about toys and ^Gcandy my ^AMommy should ^Embuy


CHORUS:
And the TV ^CGod watches over ^Dme

Opens up my ^Emeyes, shows me how to see

All around the ^Cworld, every night and ^Dday on my T^EmV

Teaches how to ^Clove, teaches what is ^Dreal

Tells what life is ^Emof, tells me how to feel

All I need to ^Cknow I can find and ^Dsee on my TV^Em


Soon I was a teenager and I knew just how to dress
I learned to use deodorant so I would always smell my best
I got myself a part time job to buy the things I needed to have
And the payments on my supercharged Camaro really aren't so bad

^AEverybody be careful, everybody be,

^EmBe very careful, keep watching your TV

There are ^Apeople who are laughing with a wink or a nod

There are ^Bpeople who are questioning our great TV God

Every^Abody be careful, everybody be

^EmBe very careful, stay tuned to your TV

There are ^Aphonies who are talking

There are wasters who read

There are ^Bpeople here who do not even own a TV!

Every^Abody be careful! Oh every^Embody be careful!

Oh every^Abody be careful!


Everything I know about my country I learned on TV
The man on the screen tells me who is our enemy
They say that we are free and we must fight to be number one
So when the army calls I'll grab my TV, my car, and my gun
