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
It’s 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 move you
(Well) it starts all over
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 they start to lose you
It starts all over

Oh what a marvelous invention
That can capture your attention
And once they start to lose you...
(Hahaha)

They’ll tell you that it’s just one bad apple
And there’s 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 whose hit
You won’t be the one whose bones get broken
