Commercial Breakdown Lyrics
Yeah maybe I'm right,
Or maybe I'm wrong,
We can fight for one single way to get along,
And we've all got to not shake down,
And I'm only missing the point,
And I guess that's the way I'm trying to generalise.
So I told my problems,
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy.
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy.
Oh maybe sometimes I find it hard to comply,
With people that don't look you in the eye,
And it's because of the commercial breakdown.
And I'm only missing the point,
It's what the media say and then expect your head to turn away.
So I told my problems,
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy.
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy.
Well am I right?
And I used to think that these things happen for a reason,
I used to think that these things happen for a reason....
Or maybe I'm wrong,
We can fight for one single way to get along,
And we've all got to not shake down,
And I'm only missing the point,
And I guess that's the way I'm trying to generalise.
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy.
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy.
With people that don't look you in the eye,
And it's because of the commercial breakdown.
And I'm only missing the point,
It's what the media say and then expect your head to turn away.
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy.
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy.
Well am I right?
I used to think that these things happen for a reason....

No comments, seriously? Epic song.
I think it's about how the media keeps churning out stuff to keep our minds occupied, "Well I saw it on the TV, At least it keeps me busy." so that we're kept from knowing or having time to think about real issues, "And I'm only missing the point, It's what the media say and then expect your head to turn away."
But the silver lining is, "You're never gonna get me". Sunshine Underground is AWESOME.
