        from the CD "Greetings from Galilee"

      C               E           Am        Am/G         F
      I used to stare at you for hours and hours

               C      G              C        G
      My RCA, one-eyed friend.

      C                               E                 Am    Am/G       F
      Those laughs we shared with Lucy, Beav & Maynard,

         C                                            G                   C      C/B
      I thought those good times never would end. (Chorus 1)





      (Chorus 1)

      Am                                    F                                C            G, E
      But travellin' down the road you lose your bearings.

      Am                              F                                          C
      Seems to me somehow you've just stopped caring

                              G            Am7   G/B
      what you're sharing.




      C                   E                 Am        Am/G         F
      I'd watch cartoons with you for hours and hours,

             C              G                C        G
      My animated one-eyed friend.

      C                           E                 Am      Am/G     F
      Snagglepuss & Bugs, the Jetsons, Fred & Yogi,

         C                            G                              C            C/B
      Saturday mornin' cartoons with my friends. (Chorus 2)




      (Chorus 2)

      Am                                    F                                C            G, E
      But then you had to change - You were so daring

      Am                              F                            C
      You left behind the values we were sharing

                        G          Am7   G/B
      Now it's glaring.




      C                                 E           Am        Am/G         F
      You traded off your fun, for violence, sex and ratings,

               C                            G                         C        G
      But no one seems to care much anymore.

      C                                                 E                 Am    Am/G       F
      You changed the words you use - What money you are making!

                C                          G                              C         C/B
      You left behind your old friends from before. (Chorus 3)




      (Chorus 3)

      Am                                    F                                C            G, E
      You're setting all the trends, you're up and rearing

      Am                      F             C
      The fabric of society is tearing

                           G            Am7   G/B
      We're still staring.





         C                         E                 Am       Am/G      F
      Those times we shared with Walter, Chet & David

          C           G                              C        G
      Kennedy, Armstrong, Viet Nam.

      C                                    E            Am      Am/G         F
      But now you have to show us every gruesome detail

                 C          G                         C            C/B
      With 20/20, Springer & their friends. (Chorus 4)




      (Chorus 4)

      Am                                    F                   C            G, E
      It seems to me you're leading us to ruin.

      Am                                           F                                   C
      Do your new friends really know what they are doin',

                              G            Am7   G/B
      What you're spewin'?




      C                                E                 Am               Am/G      F
      You used to be my friend, but now you've turned against me,

                   C                                 G              C        G
      So I'll say goodbye, to My one-eyed friend.

      C                            E        Am             Am/G       F
      I 'm listening to God - I see you've moved against Him,

                 C                          G                           C          F
      So I'll spend my time learnin' to be His friend...

             C                            G                   C      F
      I'll pull your plug, my one-eyed friend...

             C                                   G
      I'll sell my dish, cut the cable...

                C
      The End.
