v1:
That there's what we call a guitar
It used to be the sound of protest
But now it won't get you too far
You've got a brand you need to protect

pre:
These days we just let things slide

v2:
We love our water & air
But we're rolling drunk on gasoline
We're generally inclined to care
But we mostly stay behind the scenes

pre:
These days we just let things slide
Watch the world pass us by

ch:
So here's a video machine
You can see the things that we've seen
You can know the people that we've been
Sometimes we're stupid and mean
---
But put in this VHS
You'll want to see us at our best
The very best that we can be
Watch Mr. Rogers on repeat

v3:
Sure, there's people on the street
But they seem to be doing alright
We give them plenty to eat
And a bridge to cover them through the night

pre:
These days we just let things slide
Watch the world pass us by

ch:
So here's a video machine
You can see the things that we've seen
You can know the people that we've been
Sometimes we're stupid and mean
---
But put in this VHS
You'll want to see us at our best
The very best that we can be
Watch Mr. Rogers on repeat

br:
And while we're at it, we're sorry 'bout the wars
We're usually on the winning side, but we're not keeping score
I know it doesn't look so good, but wait, there's so much more

ch2:
Here's a pile of books we burned
We erased the things we should've learned
We love to laugh while the world turns
We learned to fiddle while it burns

ch:
So here's a video machine
You can see the things that we've seen
You can know the people that we've been
Sometimes we're stupid and mean
---
But put in this VHS
You'll want to see us at our best
The very best that we can be
Watch Mr. Rogers on repeat

Watch Mr. Rogers on repeat
