Lyrics

Talking Head

From Bomber1979

Written by Eddie Clarke, Lemmy, Phil Taylor

Lyrics

Talking Head

[Intro] Don't touch that dial [Verse 1] Television screen Your face turning green Don't listen to the news They don't know what you hear They never make it clear They like it if you stay confused [Chorus 1] Propaganda time, the official line You're hungry, you get fed Everlasting smile You must admire their style But they're just a talking head [Verse 2] Television voice Don't give you any choice You only hear the man Don't take them in You don't know where they been Cause it's a complex plan [Chorus 2] They keep you nice and quiet Even control your diet You're hungry, you get fed Teach you to be meek Till all you are is weak Till you're just a talking head [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Television scream This ought to be a dream Remember what I say Don't be hypnotised by sugarcoated lies Don't switch it on today [Chorus 3] It's the way things are From that pickle jar You're hungry, you get fed But if you play the game You become the same Another talking head [Bass Solo]
