Album: Raging Silence (1989)

Voice On My TV

It's a familiar voice
Sometimes I wonder if I have a choice
You give it everything
You're selling God but am I listening

I hear you've seen the light
Your message comes to me by satellite
You say I must believe
I say it's just another way to deceive

If my salvation has anything to do
With your empty promises and what you think is true
Well here's my donation, if it's all the same to you

I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
I know you're only a voice on my TV

The number on the screen
Will help me get to heaven, so it would seem
The money flows and flows
And no one cares enough to know where it goes

Look at all the millions that you've taken for a ride
With the warmest words, and the coldest heart inside
And how much longer can I listen to... your lies

What are all credit card believers gonna say
When they hear about the scandals
And the lovers that you pay
And all about the meetings in your secret hideaway

I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe

I can save you
You're just a voice on my TV
Your power's strong but I am free
Always to say what I believe

This is your conscience speaking
