You've Always Been Here

Lyrics for You've Always Been Here

You're confused The TV and the movies really did a number on you You're confused The TV and the news really did a number on you And you're ready, all too ready Ready to accept that this is the way it's always been And so it must not be broke You're ready, all too ready Ready to accept that this is the way it's always been And so it must not be broke It's been working so long And we've made it this far It's been working so long And we've made it this far Oh, what a marvelous invention That can capture your attention And once it starts to lose you It starts all over Oh, what a marvelous invention That can capture your attention And once it starts to lose you Well They'll remind you that you disagree with crime And who will you call when it finds you? Once the bruises start showing up, they're harder to hide How will you protect your eyes and keep your kids safe? From the truth, the system isn't broken It's working the way it's supposed to You think you can turn it on and turn it off You keep turning You think you can turn it on and turn it off But you keep on turning You think you can turn it on and turn it off You keep turning You think you can turn it on and turn it off You keep on turning You think you can turn it on and turn it off You keep turning You think you can turn it on and turn it off You keep on turning Oh, what a marvelous invention That can capture your attention And once it starts to lose you It starts all over Oh, what a marvelous invention That can capture your attention And once they start to lose you They'll tell you that it's just one bad apple And no such thing as a free lunch No matter how many times they prove themselves to be the bully You'll stand behind them, so you won't be the one who's hit You won't be the one whose bones get broken
