All That Really Matters

See the headlines
Have you heard the news
They're tryin' to turn the world upside down
We sit and watch it on TV
Programmed prophets trying to bring us down
Give us a break now
We know it can't all be bad news
Let's get away now
Cause when I'm holding on to you
We're all, we're all that really matters
The time is now
For taking our own chances
We're all, all that really matters
More brain power
Just to keep alive
Some computer trying to shut you down
The world powers watchin' the way you live
On a mission pushing us around
Give us a break now
No way we're gonna lose
We'll find a way now
Cause when I'm making love to you
We're all, we're all that really matters
The time is now
For taking our own chances
We're all, all that really matters
I wanna love you
I'm gonna try to make it right
Nothing can touch you
We'll make a dream come true tonight
We're all, we're all that really matters
The time is now
For taking our own chances
We're all, all that really matters
We're all, we're all that really matters
We're all, all that really matters

Nothing Even Matters

Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
'Cause nothing even matters at all

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all

See I don't need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it I'd go through withdrawal
'Cause nothing even matters at all

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all

These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause nothing even matters to me

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me

You're part of my identity
I sometimes have the tendency
To look at you religiously
'Cause nothing even matters to me

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me

Now you won't find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it's never either or
'Cause nothing even matters no more

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more

Now my team could score
And make it to the Final Four
Just repossess my 4x4
'Cause nothing even matters no more

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more

Sweet Silence

Sometimes the best news is no news at all.
Then you wouldn't hear if there was war or if the stocks fall.
Today, nothing we hear of the television is good.
They tell bad news and say "they did what they could."
If we hear nothing, we assume everything is alright,
We could go to our beds and sleep tight.
How would you feel, if on the television on the wall,
You turned on the news and heard nothing at all.

As you watch television tonight

As you watch television tonight
Spare a thought about me somewhere
Between the intervals AND squeeze a thought
About me for that one lingering moment
They're sure to say something about me
I've long been out of the popularity stakes
I'm sure I'm part of the seven o'clock news
They might show parts of my mangled body
Or they may show me as part of that happy crowd
Be sure to watch me on T.V tonight maybe I might
Be alive or dead it don't matter what shape you
See me in because you never cared anyway so watch
Television tonight and go to sleep happy that
You've finally really got rid of me

Disaster In A Halo

Lately I've been thinking about what you said
Time is growing old and I'm getting colder
Hunger's just a pain that won't be fed
I'll be working for the ghost until I'm dead and done
Over and done, over
Disaster in a halo
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Somewhere there's a girl with thoughts of him
She makes wishes in a well then fears them caving in on her, around, on her
Disaster in a halo
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Cause in the well plans will come and plans will go undone
I know, I know
And you can't tell, I will come and I will do I know, I know
But why would I?
But why would I?
Disaster in a halo
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?

News of a Boy

News of a boy in stress,
Is like the lending of money to a man of worth.
News is the best option,
Always special in contrast to the atomic bomb.
News has always been of dying,
Why do we have living and dying?
News is the speeding trolley in the super-market,
When the television has been occupied.
Why do you bother with these times
When what you perceive is truly yours?

Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

The network and local TV angle of broadcast television has received a black eye for not properly debating within the news issues that should be debated, instead of shuffling them of to television advertising.

One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News' ratings go up is because people who don't normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don't watch network news or fight over the people who do?

Little black box called Television!

I watch it
Morning, day and night
The plasma screens are quite a sight
Soap Operas, Reality Shows, Movies
I watch anything there is to see
But the little black box called Television
Gets on my nerves

Images of other people’s life it serves
As a daily dish to my vision
Even my own ideas about fashion
Are ruthlessly destroyed in its mission
To impose on me of how to live

But I love Television
I am addicted to Television
Like glue is to paper
Or love making is to a beginner
I am its concubine with my permission
Please at me, don't point a finger

When I am lonely
It is easier to pretend
The images presented by TV
Are my friends

When I am horny
Without sounding funny
I can make love in my bed
After breakfast in bed
To anyone from the TVs images
Now endorsed into my head

That little black box
Sucks, it really sucks
It is just a vicious circle
Bed, Work, Television and Bed
Bed, Work, Television and Bed
Bed, Work, Television and Bed

Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.

Be on your own

A cup of tea from your purse,
A glass of wine offered by others,
Which pricks, which sooths?

A hut that is your own,
A mansion where you’re an offshoot,
Which you pride on, which you deride?

A radio of yours to listen to,
A television next door to watch,
Which comforts, which piques?

The freedom and not comfort matters.

We don't have access to a national forum that we had in those days, through the news magazines which were the television news of the time. It's very disturbing to me that we've sort of been pushed to the corners.

Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.

The news media's silence, particularly television news, is reprehensible. If we knew as much about Darfur as we do about Michael Jackson, we might be able to stop these things from continuing.

I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.

If It's Good, Cancel It

I read the morning news
Then turned on the television
To find even more news
I prefer cartoons
Because, a sponge laughing in your face
Is a hell of a lot better
Than the rest of the world

My Laughs And Guffaws

I love my Television
Whenever I want to laugh
I switch to cartoon movies
The antics of Tom and Jerry
Keep on tickling my funny bone
For hours later

When I like to have some fun extra
And want to giggle and guffaw
I watch political news

But alas
The histrionics
Of our leaders
For days together
they keep me dipped in
Pain and chagrin
