John Fogerty I Saw It On T.V. song lyrics

They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen

A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine

There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville

Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real

The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start

The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart

A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier"

And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas

They buried innocents that year

Chorus:

I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen

The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed

Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands

It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band

But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky

They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why

The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared

Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score

Chorus:

I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch

The light he said at the end of the tunnel

Was nothing but a burglars torch

And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free

But they chained my mind to an endless tune

When they took my only son from me

Chorus:

I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.
