The TV Song (My One Eyed Friend)

Words and Music Copyright 2000 by Randall Alan Fultz.

I used to stare at you for hours and hours
My RCA, one-eyed friend.
Those laughs we shared with Lucy, Beav & Maynard,
I thought those good times never would end. (Chorus 1)

(Chorus 1)
But travellin' down the road you lose your bearings.
Seems to me somehow you've just stopped caring
what you're sharing.

I'd watch cartoons with you for hours and hours,
My animated one-eyed friend.
Snagglepuss & Bugs, the Jetsons, Fred & Yogi,
Saturday mornin' cartoons with my friends. (Chorus 2)

(Chorus 2)
But then you had to change - You were so daring
You left behind the values we were sharing
Now it's glaring.

You traded off your fun, for violence, sex and ratings,
But no one seems to care much anymore.
You changed the words you use - What money you are making!
Forgot about your old friends from before. (Chorus 3)

(Chorus 3)
But travellin' down this road you lose your bearings
Seems to me somehow you've just stopped caring
We're still staring.

Those times we shared with Walter, Chet & David
Kennedy, Armstrong, Viet Nam.
But now you have to show us every gruesome detail
With 20/20, Springer & their friends. (Chorus 4)

(Chorus 4)
It seems to me you're leading us to ruin.
Do your new friends really know what they are doin',
What you're spewin'?

You used to be my friend, but now you've turned against me,
So I'll say goodbye, to My one-eyed friend.
I 'm listening to God - I see you've moved against Him,
So I'll spend my time learnin' to be His friend...
I'll pull your plug, my one-eyed friend...
I'll sell my dish, cut the cable...
The End.

"Now many will hear of the wonderful things He has done for me, & put their trust in Him"(Ps 40:3)
