6. TONY AND I (Topic: Pretend/media violence vs. real-life violence)
1. Tony and I used to play.
We used to take our guns and run away
To the wild West
About a block away.
All we made was make-believe.
Doing everything we could so we could leave
Law and order there
Out in the "Wild West."
(CHORUS)
All'e, all'e in free,
No one has to die.
It won't hurt---we're just TV good guys.
All'e, all'e in free,
Go away and then
After the commercial we'll be back again.
2. Tony and I used to fly,
Laser blast and rocketship up in the sky
To a galaxy
About a block away.
We were the finest in flight.
Alien powers never kept us from the fight
To help all our friends
Out in the galaxy.
CHORUS
All'e, all'e in free,
No one has to die.
It won't hurt---we're just TV good guys.
All'e, all'e in free,
Go away and then
After the commercial we'll be back again.
3. Tony and I used to play.
Playing was such a good way to be friends.
It was just pretend
About a block away.
But now my friend's been hurt,
Not like on the TV where the hurting ends
And the good guy wins.
That's just the way they play.
CHORUS
All'e, all'e in free,
No one has to die.
It won't hurt---we're just TV good guys.
All'e, all'e in free,
Go away and then
After the commercial we'll be back again.
