[Verse 1]
G5                     D5
  Some people are just all show
      F9add11                  C5
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
        G5            D5
But it's all bark and no tree
F9add11                       C5
    What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
        G5                  D5
It's all peace and love and limousines
    F9add11                        C5
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
            G5                          D5
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
F9add11                          G5
     I think it's time we had a little intervention with you

[Chorus]
C5  G5    C5  D5
  Hey  now, wake   up
    C5  G5  C5  D5
And lose  the make   up
    C5            G5
She makes you wanna know her
        C5                 D5 (2 fr.) D5
When you don't know what it's worth
        C5          G5
Now you really wanna show her
               C5  G5    D5
How she's just so    down to Earth, via satellite

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth, via satellite

[Bridge]
C5      G5       F9add11(2) F9add11
 What's it like to love       you
            C5    G5     F9add11(2) F9add11
When there's no one else above        you
   C5   G5        F9add11(2) F9add11
And no one gets to know        you?
    C5         G5      F9add11(2)  A5
Well, who'll be there to show       you, via satellite?

[Instrumental]
G5 , G5 , G7M(2)

[Verse 3]
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
