Blue Screen Beams

You say the TV is faking us, and all our heroes have forsaken us Don't leave us out here like some sycophants You say wait for the right time, but it's never the right time If you don't see me back here then you'll know And that scrolling screen is all you seem willing to hold on to Only tonight we were splitting our sides Just thinking what a week it's been He said, "When all is told and you weigh it up We don't need a wall, we need a bigger boat" Well tell me something new He said, "Do I have hope?" And I said, "I don't" But I do, I do, I do, 'course I do When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need I still do, I do I do declare it's a cartoon out there We're better off here in this living room The future is taunting us, history's haunting us Look at us now, this will never do These rising degrees and the blue screen beams Don't say we go down like this And you're never alone like When you're alone on the dawn light precipice He said, "When all is told and you weigh it up We don't need a wall, we need a bigger boat" Well tell me something new He said, "Do I have hope?" And I said, "I don't" But I do, I do, I do, 'course I do When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need I still do, I do When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need I still do, I do, I do, I do
