Lyrics

Television

Life means nothing
When no one knows your name
I've never had too much
But I'd give it all for fame, baby, baby

She's there on the TV, so beautiful on screen
Selling me a life
I've never known and never seen, baby, baby
If I only had you, if I only had

Television, new religion, let everyone sing Hallelujah
Politicians, don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Newspaper headlines, I can't believe my eyes
No tales of war, destruction
But who said what last night on the TV
Well that could be me

Through the shop window it's a wide screen world
But I can't afford a thing and I never get the girl
It ain't easy, no, it ain't easy
If I only had you, if I only had you
If I only had you, if I only had

Television, new religion, let everyone sing Hallelujah
Politicians, don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You know we always want something
But somehow we end up with nothing, nothing
If I only had you, if I only had you
If I only had, if I only had

Television, new religion, let everyone sing Hallelujah
Politicians, don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
