Текст песни
[00:50.35] Well, come gather around, and I'll sing you a song
[00:54.88] About a crazy old world that's coming along
[00:59.82] 'Til one day some fool made the decision
[01:03.02] To turn on the television
[01:09.73] Of course, radio reported we'd all ignore it
[01:13.18] Paper said we'd have no time for it
[01:16.73] But before you knew it, you knew Milton Berle
[01:21.00] And we all had a new escape from the world
[01:27.62] All tuned in, before too soon
[01:30.33] We were watching a man walk on the moon
[01:34.28] He made it look as easy as driving a car
[01:38.87] Video killed the radio star
[01:42.25] I got the talking blues
[01:43.71]
[02:03.39] Talking blues is easy to do
[02:05.53] All you gotta do is rhyme a line or two
[02:08.57] Rhyme a line or two and then
[02:10.77] You don't even have to rhyme again
[02:15.35] See? I can say anything I want to now
[02:19.93] Well, you know, within reason
[02:22.79]
[02:41.25] Say sitcom, catchphrase, game show nation
[02:45.94] Television soon defied explanation
[02:51.00] As the situation took to such a degree
[02:54.36] That eventually we all heard about cable TV
[02:57.87] Of course, free TV news swore we'd ignore it
[03:01.51] But the average family could never afford it
[03:04.88] But again they were wrong, eventually
[03:08.45] Everybody wanted their MTV
[03:13.41] We were all tuned in, but now the shock
[03:15.73] Watching a kid do a thing called the "moonwalk"
[03:20.81] Sliding backwards really was eventually too far
[03:27.67] Reality killed that video star
[03:30.99] I got the talking blues
[03:32.55]
[03:56.60] So simple at first, it was hard to foresee
[04:00.29] The impending collision with reality
[04:03.72] But it soon seemed TV turned on itself
[04:06.83] When "The real world" came on like it was somethin' else
[04:13.58] Of course, actors all acted like they weren't floored
[04:17.15] Hoping eventually that we'd all get bored
[04:20.84] But one after the another we pretended not to act
[04:24.70] As we hurdled ever forward towards alternative facts
[04:33.69] Then a show called "The apprentice" came on and pretty soon
[04:38.02] An old man with a comb-over had sold us the moon
[04:45.68] We stayed tuned in, now here we are
[04:50.85] Reality killed by a reality star
[04:54.12] I got the talking blues
[05:02.71] Hills, that is
[05:04.03]
