Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

A billion blue tubes light up a billion rooms
The night outside is quiet as a tomb
And the fools on the screen try to get each other into bed
It's a forty dollar haircut on a twenty nine cent head
And you just don't get it - You'd like to get something else instead

Them shapes in the bed are the senator and the C.E.O. 
Which one is on top? Wouldn't we like to know...
Father's got his hand on the altar boy's knee
The choir is preaching to you they just want you to agree
And you just don't get it but you know this don't come free

Every election feels like the perfect crime
Like ¥ou can fool all the people all the time
They say the water isn't rising but their shoes are soaking wet
They like to drive you crazy but you ain't crazy yet
You just don't get it

Can't tell one place from another all across the land
Where's the architect? Wouldn't you like to shake his hand
Shopes are full of nothing and the streets are full of fear
And if we're all so connected why can't we just get near?
Oh, you just don't get it; but you can't get there from here

You got a thousand talking heads to tell you where it's at
But when you look behind the curtain to where the puppetmaster sat
There's just an empty chair
And the strings are lying flat
And you just don't get it adn you're vaguely proud of that
