Song lyrics

Well you win,
It's your show now,
So what's it gonna be?
Cause people will tune in,
How many train wrecks
Do we need to see
Before we lose touch, oh
And we thought this was low
Well it's bad, gettin worse so

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changin channels,
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow.

They got this and that
With a rattle-a-tat,
Testing one two,
Now whatcha gonna do?
Bad news, misused,
Got too much to lose,
Gimmie some truth now,
Who's side are we on?
Whatever you say -
Turn on the boob tube,
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way, now

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changin channels,
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow.

Sitting round, feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris
(Can you feel it?)
You interrupt me
From a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all gonna be,
You might notice some hesitation
Cause what's important to you
Is not important to me,
Way down by the edge of your reasons,
Well it's beginning to show,
And all I really wanna know is

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changin channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

(Where'd all the good people go?)
They got this and that
With a rattle-a-tat
Testing one, two,
Now whatcha gonna do?
Bad news, misused,
Gimme some truth,
You got too much to lose,
(Where'd all the good people go?)
Whose side are we on today, anyway?
OK, whatever you say,
Wrong and resolute,
I'm in the mood to obey,
Station to station
Desensitizing the nation,
(Where'd all the good people go?)
Going, going, gone.
