lyrics

Nightfall slips down on the 'burbs
Cold radiation fills those living rooms
A message slips between the words
Drink Pepsi, buy GM, go to your doom

CHORUS
Caught in the glow (as you were)
A rainbow monotone (don't go)
The sores they start to grow (as you were)
And what if you were not alone?

Weapons of mass communication
Rain down on the lawns and the Bar-B-Qs
Hey Miss Mid-America
Ever get the feeling you've been used?

Ian starts it, Jane joins in
François comes along
Jackie's there and pretty soon
You're a hundred thousand strong

A sunrise right between the eyes
The birds they bear the red, the white, the blue
A new day blooming in the East
The stars and stripes they burn without a clue

Ian starts it, Laura's there
Beth, René and John
Alex puts the message out
A million more will come

Call for change keeps pounding at your door
The northern front is now at a roar
A friend in deed, a friend and so much more
A voice so loud it can't be ignored
