phil ochs - talkin' pay tv lyrics

Loading...

walkin’ down to denver town
i watched the western sun go down.
thought that i would stop a while,
switch around my tv dial.
got some free tee vee . . . only price was a little boredom.

well, i’m not sure about my taste
but it seemed that tv land was a waste.
i saw 30 westerns, 30 private eyes, 30 doctors operated before my eyes.
none of the operations was successful, though . . . it’s hard to operate
with so much violence around.

well, every few minutes they’d take a break
for a profound message on a stomach ache.
they sold cures for dandruff, milk from the farm
perfume for my underarms.
i’ve had enough . . . i’m stickin’ to greasy kid stuff.

well, the blood and gore was upon the floor
and i couldn’t hardly stand no more,
so i walked outside to get some air.
a theater owner was standing there:
carryin’ a picket sign . . . said pay tv was un-american.

he said
