The picture's clear but it's going black And you're not always sure you are on the right track You gave a little bit and they took a lot Of your sense of self and your private thoughts Oh how very strange We cannot look away And nothing you could say Would ever make us go away The picture's clear but it's going black And your favorite song's still the hidden track You gave a little bit and they took a lot Of your quietude and your unsaid thoughts The picture's clear but it's going black When you're out at sea floating on your back You gave a little bit and they took a lot Of your precious time and your favorite spots
