I don't see them on the TV shows, yeah
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow, yeah

They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testin' one two, what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, got too much to lose
Gimme some truth, man, who's side are we on?

Whatever you say, I turn on the boob tube
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray and by the way now

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changin' channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
Where'd all the good people go?

Sittin' 'round, feeling far away, yeah
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all gonna be

But you might notice some hesitation
'Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me
Way down by the edge of your reason
Well, it's beginning to show and all I really wanna know is

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changin' channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
Where'd all the good people go?

With a rattle a tat, testin' one two
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, you got too much to lose
Gimme some truth, whose side are we on today anyway?

Okay, whatever you say
Wrong or resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Where'd all the good people going, going?
