Here I go, back again
Sliding off the ceiling
Was I gone for long
Did I just flick the switch

Across the street away from me
A man is singing 'Sympathy for the Devil',
And he's getting all the words wrong.
His newspaper flies desperately
But words aren't wings like gravity
They'll keep you here
It's a theory to subscribe to
But you know you're being lied to

So keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear

Stay awake, the lines are drawn.
You're never right until you're wrong
In the eyes of the world

And a picture tells a thousand lies
Little dots in black and white.
You've no idea
The strongest will survive
But its the scum that always rises

So keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear

And you talk just like a diplomat,
But hide the gun behind your back
The leaders need a bloody war
Congratulations, this is yours
Looking through the history books
Of liars, cheats, and petty crooks

They'll print your picture clear
Print your picture clear
Keep your picture clear

????

Keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear
Keep your picture clear
