Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Oh you win, it's your show now So what's it going to be? 'Cause people will tune in How many train wrecks do we need to see Before we lose touch, oh And we thought this was low Well it's bad, getting worse so... [Chorus] Where'd all the good people go? I've been changing channels I don't see them on the TV shows Where'd all the good people go? We got heaps and heaps of what we sow [Verse 2] They got this and that with a rattle a tat Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do Bad news misused, got too much to lose Give me some truth now, whose side are we on Whatever you say Turn on the boob-tube, I'm in the mood to obey So lead me astray And by the way now... [Chorus] Where'd all the good people go? I've been changing channels I don't see them on the TV shows Where'd all the good people go? We got heaps and heaps of what we sow [Bridge] Sitting around feeling far away So far away but I can feel the debris Can you feel it? You interrupt me from a friendly conversation To tell me how great it's all going to be You might notice some hesitation Because it's important to you, it's not important to me But way down by the edge of your whole reason Well, it's beginning the show And all I really want to know is... [Chorus] Where'd all the good people go? I've been changing channels I don't see them on the TV shows Where'd all the good people go? We got heaps and heaps of what we sow [Outro] (Where'd all the good people go?) They got this and that with a rattle a tat Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do Bad news misused give me some truth You got too much to lose Now whose side are we on today, anyway (Where'd all the good people go?) Okay, whatever you say Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey Station to station desensitizing the nation (Where'd all the good people go?) Going, going, gone
