Here I go 

back again 

sliding off the ceiling 

was I gone for long 

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 

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 

keep your picture clear 

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 petty crooks 



they'll print your picture clear 

they'll print your picture clear 

keep 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



keep your picture clear
