Television
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life means nothing, when no one knows your name,
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!!
Newspaper headlines, I can't believe my eyes,
No tales of war and destruction
But who said what last night,
On the TV, That could be me!
Through the shop window it's a widescreen 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!!
Oh, You know we always want something,
But we end up with 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!!
