Keep Your Picture Clear - Tom McRae

King of Cards

Keep Your Picture Clear

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 its the scum that always rises

So keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

And you talk just like a diplomat,

But hide the gun behind your back

The 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

Print your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear

Keep your picture clear
