Bandage For A Bleeding Heart

Catalogs filled with shiny new things
Perfect children swinging on their swings
Matching napkins for matching plates
Matching forks and knives spoon feed their brains

Bandage for a bleeding heart
Bandage for a bleeding heart
If only you could have a fresh start
TV is your work of art
TV is your work of art
It’s a bandage for a bleeding heart

You buy your house
You buy your car
Your wife and kids
And who you are
Computer screen
TV set
Where what you see
Is what you get

Look at your body
Look at your body
It’s gone

Houses lined up all in a row
Friendly neighbors watch their flowers grow
TV dinners sit on magazines
Perfect pictures that spoon feed you dreams

Bandage for a bleeding heart
Bandage for a bleeding heart
When did this madness start
TV is you work of art
TV is your work of art
It’s a bandage for a bleeding heart

The air is too thick to breath
The air is too thick to see
The red light prison
On the freeway

Golden handcuffs around your wrist
Golden handcuffs around you wrists
You don’t know how it can
To this

The rain comes pouring down
The rain can’t help you now
Once your city’s burning

Your matching napkins
Your matching plates
Your shiny car and freeways
Don’t believe in heaven

You buy your house
You buy you car
Your wife and kids
And who you are
Computer screen
TV set
What you see
Is what you get

Bandage for a bleeding heart…
