Big Square People

(album: Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho - 1988)

Another square day
And another square week
And another square year
And another square lifetime

If you turn me on like you turn it on
Big square people
If you look at me the way you watch tv
Big square people
You're digging it round when it should be square
Big square people
When the screen is blank there's no one there
Big square people

I've seen you watching it day and night
You don't miss the big game or big fight
All those dimensions and all of those rays
Coming at you 3 hundred and 65 days
The world's full of greed and envy and lust
If they don't get you the [?] must
Turns on at daybreak before you're awake
I turn it off now

Big square people
Big square people

Turn up the brightness, the colour and sound
The big square people in sensorround
Before too long the damage is done
To big square people television is such fun
They coming at ya from every direction
With every booster and antenna erection
They're sending signals from satellite sky
Soon you're on tv and you don't know why
Hey, come on down, you're looking good
If they said 'jump' I really think that you would
'Cause tv is God and heaven's Hollywood

You're digging it round when it should be square
Big square people
When the screen is blank there's no one there
Big square people

Get up from the chair, you look like a slut
Take the tip from the tv, go and find a job
But there are no jobs, there is no pay
Well that's not what the people on the tv say
They say to me, "I'll be what you wanna be
Let's join the army, maybe see the sea"

Turn up the brightness, the colour and sound
Turn up the chance that's going around
Turn on at daybreak before you're awake
Let's turn it off now before it's too late
Turn it off!
