Television Lyrics by Hard-Fi

Once Upon a Time in the West

2007

[Verse 1]
Life means nothing when no one knows your name
I never had too much but I'd give it all for fame
Baby, baby

[Verse 2]
She's there on the TV, so beautiful on screen
Selling me a life I've never known and never seen
Baby, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
If I only had you
If I only had

[Chorus]
Television, new religion
Let everyone sing "hallelujah"
Politicians don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Newspaper headlines, I can't believe my eyes
No tales of war and destruction, but who said what last night
On the TV
Well, that could be me

[Verse 4]
Through the shop window, it's a widescreen world
I can't afford a thing and I never get the girl
It ain't easy
No, it ain't easy

[Pre-Chorus]
If I only had you
If I only had you
If I only had you
If I only had

[Chorus]
Television, new religion
Let everyone sing "hallelujah"
Politicians don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Bridge]
You know we always want something
But somehow end up with nothing
Nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
If I only had you
If I only had you
If I only had
If I only had

[Chorus]
Television, new religion
Let everyone sing "hallelujah"
Politicians don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

[Outro]
I said that I [?] (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
Nothing seems to change (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
