John Fogerty - I Saw It On T.V. [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen
A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine
There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville
Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real
The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start
The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart
A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier"
And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas
They buried innocents that year

Chorus:
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V

We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen
The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed
Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands
It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band

But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky
They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why
The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared
Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score

Chorus:
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V

The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch
The light he said at the end of the tunnel
Was nothing but a burglars torch
And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free
But they chained my mind to an endless tune
When they took my only son from me

Chorus:
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V
