A song we were performing from 1977 onward. The first performance was at CBGB in 1977 followed by the old Zappa’s in Brooklyn, complete with accompanying rear projection films of our creation.

TELEVISION GENERATION (expert)

We are the generation weaned on Television
We are the generation with all the information
Coming through 
Light, waves and wires
Still we are blind
Officials described the radiation levels   
Surrounding the plant to be insignificant
And maintained they saw no sign of danger
While it was described 
By experts as perhaps the worst nuclear disaster in the nations history
And while they are piling up atomic missiles and warheads is anybody calculating The margin for error
Human
Or otherwise
I always think of that possibility as the seventh seal
And when he hath opened the seventh seal 
There was silence in heaven
For the space of an half an hour
I already have skin cancer and a nervous disorder
I figure the damage has already been done to me
I know I probably won’t live to me mid sixties
And it just makes me angry

There are several recordings of this work from 1977 onward.  
This version is from 1980.
