Bob Dylan - TV Talkin' Song Lyrics <br /> <br />Artist: Bob Dylan <br /> <br />Album: The Genuine Bootleg Series, Volume 4: Fourth Time Around <br />Heyo! SONGLYRICS just got interactive. Highlight. Review: RIFF-it. <br />RIFF-it good. <br /> <br />One time in London I'd gone out for a walk <br />Past a place called Hyde park where people talk <br />'Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view <br />To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to <br /> <br />There was someone on a platform talking to the folks <br />About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes <br />"It's too bright a light", he said, "For anybody's eyes <br />If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise." <br /> <br />I moved in closer, got up on my toes <br />Two men in front of me were coming to blows <br />The man was saying something 'bout children when they're young <br />Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung <br /> <br />"The news of the day is on all the time <br />All the latest gossip, all the latest rhyme <br />Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free <br />Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see." <br /> <br />"Pray for peace!". he said, you could feel it in the crowd <br />My thoughts began to wander. His voice was ringing loud <br />"It will destroy your family, your happy home is gone <br />No one can protect you fro it once you turn it on." <br /> <br />"It will led you into some strange pursuits <br />Lead you to the land of forbidden fruits <br />It will scramble up your head and drag your brain about <br />Sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out." <br /> <br />"It's all been designed", he said, "To make you lose your mind <br />And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find." <br />"Everytime you look at it, your situation's worse <br />If you feel it grabbing out for you, send for the nurse." <br /> <br />The crowd began to riot and they grabbed hold of the man <br />There was pushing, there was shoving and everybody ran <br />The T.V. crew was there to film it, they jumped right over me <br />Later on that evening, I watched it on T.V
