[Verse]
It's a reckless world
That lets itself be guided by its tools
But what our eyes can see, we believe
The truth is not for fools
Is there nothing between us but plastic and wire?
Will some modern invention prove you a liar?
All the time you were saying, "This is it"
It was that, and you didn't get that scratch from the cat
[Chorus]
(I'll be stripped to the skin)
You'll be stripped to the bone
(You'll be stripped to the bone)
And we'll all say no
(And we'll all say no) to the picture-phone
[Chorus]
I'll be stripped to the skin
(I'll be stripped to the skin)
You will be stripped to the bone
(You'll be stripped to the bone)
And we'll all say no
(And we'll all say no) to the picture-phone
[Bridge]
It was so easy to cheat on a blind line
With an alibi and your image intact
Whatever the number - Whatever the crime
Not only the famous will have to resign
It's a reckless world
That lets itself be guided by its tools
But what our eyes can see, we believe
The truth is not for fools
Is there nothing between us but plastic and wire?
Will some modern invention prove you a liar?
All the time you were saying, "This is it"
It was that, and you didn't get that scratch from the cat
[Chorus]
(I'll be stripped to the skin)
You'll be stripped to the bone
(You'll be stripped to the bone)
And we'll all say no
(And we'll all say no) to the picture-phone
[Chorus]
I'll be stripped to the skin
(I'll be stripped to the skin)
You will be stripped to the bone
(You'll be stripped to the bone)
And we'll all say no
(And we'll all say no) to the picture-phone
[Bridge]
It was so easy to cheat on a blind line
With an alibi and your image intact
Whatever the number - Whatever the crime
Not only the famous will have to resign
