Video Killed Us All

 

Life is a pound of clay,

mold it how you want to.

But now it seems the world

dictates everything we do.

They’re writing pages for you

 in your own life’s story.

Making us all believe

we live a fantasy.

Video made the whole world go blind.

Video made the whole world so small.

It broke our hearts and stole our minds

Killed radio then killed us all.  

You were tired of feeling like a nobody.

You made it to the top just using your body.

You sold your soul for gold,

but at least you're a somebody.

You gave away your poetry and gave into their scheme

and now you’re writing shallow love songs,

with words that you don't really mean.

Stealing ideas from all the videos you've seen.

Video made the whole world go blind.

Video made the whole world so small.

It broke our hearts and stole our minds

Killed radio then killed us all.  

We dance in circles then we all put on a show.

We want to live like James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.

The flowers dead the rivers barely even flow.

We slay the world but then we all come back with scars.

Abandoned love for fame and brand new fancy cars.

Video killed us like the radio stars.

Video made the whole world go blind.

Video made the whole world so small.

It broke our hearts and stole our minds

Killed radio then killed us all. 

We are the radio stars.
