歌曲名 Color TV Blues

歌手名 Don McLean

I got a color TV for a limited time

And you can have it by tonight

It'll bend your mind

I wouldn't just sell it

To an ordinary fool

Have to be sure that

The fool has cool

Since you look like a man

With heart and soul

If you buy it from me now

You get a free mixing bowl

I'll even let you have

A little button I' got

That says have a nice day

You're gonna like it a lot

Popular music is the national craze

Rock and roll stars have the kids in a daze

But twist the knob around for

A different point of view

And you'll twist that knob till

It comes unscrewed

There's only one song

That the TV sings and that's

'Pennies From Heaven'

While the register rings

So it's easy to see right from the start

That what makes good money

Makes good art

Now did you read the encyclical

That's written by the Pope

Saying Folks with private

Property just got no hope

The rich ain't welcome in

The heavenly Palladium

But the Knights of Columbus

Own Yankee Stadium

Now I ain't saying that the Pope was wrong

But he can easily afford to sing that song

If you'd like to call him up

When you need some dough

His number's Et Cum Spiri 2 2 0

The kids that fought the war

Are living outa state

And the CIA is running things of late

When we elect a man

We put him on the spot

'Cause if he don't play ball

He might get shot

The national security keeps

It from the voters

'Cause what's good for America

Isn't good for general motors

We went and found ourselves

Some mighty strange lovers

The kind that like to blow from

Underneath the covers

Well millions can avoid with Dr Sigmund Freud

Those realities of life that tend

To make me paranoid

Looking for the answer just

Gives me indigestion

I spent so much time just

Dealing with the question

We'd rather talk of dollars

And forget about events

When what we have to decide is

Does it all make sense

Well everybody's happy

I saw it on the news

But me

I got a case of color TV blues

You know just 'cause you're paranoid

Doesn't mean they're not trying to get ya
