Flat Top

Goo Goo Dolls

Flat top intervention 
Bringing home the new invention 
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints 
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing 
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it's falling all around us 
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us? 
Falling all around us 
I'll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation's lost 
Choking on it's fear 
Used to be that's all we had to fear
conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak 
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power 
As long as there's a victim on tv

And it's falling all around us 
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us
Falling all around us 
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive 
On my TV screen 
And assassination plots 
Show me what I haven't got 
Show me what I love and who I'm supposed to be 
Show me everything I need 
Show it all to me 

And it's falling all around us 
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us? 
Falling all around us 
I'll turn my head off for a while
