Letras de Color TV Blues

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
And 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 the little button I got
That says "Have a nice day", you're gonna like it a lot

Popular music is the national craze
Rock'n′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 'til 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 owned 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 Ed Coombe′s Sperry 220

The kids that fought the war are living out of 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
And 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′t avoid this doctor's sicken Freud
Those realities in life that tend to make me paranoid
Looking for the answer just gives me indigestion
I spend 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 you
