Electric Eye
Prodigal
I got static on my brainwaves
Set the frequency for stereo sound
Antenna working overtime
And the volume won't turn down
I read my life in the funny papers
But I'm buried on page 13 - know what I mean
Radio stereo video it's all just electric eyes
I get my good times from a laugh track
I got my news from professional smiles
I got religion on the cable
I got my name on the micro-files
I don't even have to leave my lounge chair
I change my channels by remote control
Radio stereo video it's all just electric eyes
ABC NBC CBS PBS
All I know is what I read in the papers
All I know is what I see on the TV
All I know is what I hear on the headphones
I wanna know what's right for me - I can't see it
I read the truth as Newsweek sees it
I've got some culture on my VCR
I see the world through an f-stop window
I stroll my Walkman down the boulevard
I let the airwaves soothe my senses
I hear the man with the FM voice - have I got a choice
Radio stereo video it's all just electric eyes
Radio stereo video it's all just electric eyes
