Keep Your Picture Clear Lyrics

Keep Your Picture Clear lyrics

Here I go, back again, sliding off the ceiling

Was I gone for long or did
I just flick the switch

Across the street, away from me

A man is
singing sympathy for the devil

And he’s getting all the words wrong

His newspaper flies desperately

But words aren’t wings like gravity

They’ll keep you here

It’s a theory to subscribe to

But you know
you’re being lied to

So keep your picture clear



Stay awake,
the lines are drawn

You’re never right until you’re wrong in the eyes of
the world

And a picture tells a thousand lies

Little dots in black
and white, you’ve no idea

The strongest will survive

But it’s the
scum that always rises

So keep your picture clear



You talk
just like a diplomat

But hide the gun behind your back

And leaders
need a bloody war

Congratulations this is yours

Looking through the
history books

Of liars, cheats and pretty crooks

They’ll print your
picture clear



So close another file

Of revolution turned to
style

We’re so tired of walking blind

Growing fat in hungry
times

Keep your picture clear
