I really want to know

What you had in store

I couldn't really tell

Perhaps it's just as well

I came here with a dream

And I just had to see

If my dream would soar

I knocked on every door



His whole life was written

Written there inside

The new weekly bible

His modern T.V. Guide

Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah



A man only sees want he wants to see

When he's in his mind

Where he is that he wants to be

Living in a world where he's safe from reality

Won't you take a chance on this night

And follow me

Won't you follow me (repeat)



Don't need no super heros

Don't need no movie stars

Don't need no politicians

In big black shiny cars

Don't need no preacher

Whose church is my T.V.



A man only sees what he wants to see

When he's in his mind

Where he is what he wants to be

Living in a world where he's safe from reality

Won't you take a chance on this night child

And follow me

Won't you follow me (repeat)



Once was a broken hero

The kind that we all know

The kind that hides inside us

For we never show

The kind we say that could never be me



His whole life was written

Written there inside

The new weekly bible

His modern T.V. Guide

Stare back at the screen, yeah yeah



A man only sees want he wants to see
