The Goo Goo Dolls - Flat Top lyrics
[The Goo Goo Dolls - Flat Top lyrics]
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the
Cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
A-sleeping on the White House lawn
Ain't never changed a thing
Just look at all the washed out hippie dreams
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're
Trying to pull on us? Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
And conscience keeps us quiet while
The crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets
On the street a visionary coward says that
Anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're
Trying to pull on us? Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
And my dirty dreams all come
Alive on my TV screen
And assassination plots show me
What I haven't got show me what I love
And who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need show it all to me
Show it all to me
And it's fallin all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're
Trying to pull on us? Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile
