Keep Your Picture Clear

Here I go, back again, sliding off the ceiling
Was I gone for long or did I just flick the switch
Across the street, away from me
A man is singing sympathy for the devil
And hes getting all the words wrong
His newspaper flies desperately
But words arent wings like gravity
Theyll keep you here
Its a theory to subscribe to
But you know youre being lied to
So keep your picture clear

Stay awake, the lines are drawn
Youre never right until youre wrong in the eyes of the world
And a picture tells a thousand lies
Little dots in black and white, youve no idea
The strongest will survive
But its the scum that always rises
So keep your picture clear

You talk just like a diplomat
But hide the gun behind your back
And leaders need a bloody war
Congratulations this is yours
Looking through the history books
Of liars, cheats and pretty crooks
Theyll print your picture clear

So close another file
Of revolution turned to style
Were so tired of walking blind
Growing fat in hungry times
Keep your picture clear
