This one is about how I feel now whenever I see one of those right-wingers on the TV machine, saying the same line of crap that’s been disproven so many times before (or would be by the next morning.)
And I have to give a big Thank You to my beautiful honey, Jane, for a great suggestion for the title. Thank you, honey. I love you.
Enjoy the song. I included two videos on this one. The first is a version with the band singing it live, many years after it was a hit. Note the reaction of Jeff Lynne when they do the fast talking part. The second video below the lyrics appears to be a produced video, lip-synched, with some of the band members dancing around the set while playing their violins and bass fiddles. Kind of cool. I just hope they don’t get blocked two seconds after I post this. 
Yearn to Groan
Original Words and Music "Turn to Stone" by Jeff Lynne
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider
The talking heads are empty now
The lies don’t work no more
And so the thoughts are way down low
Churning, churning, churning
A crowd that knows it lost the fight
The a-holes of the hard right
Says anything that is a lie
To my Blue world
I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan
Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on
The lying members of the right
The liar that slowly talks 'til dawn
Still show up on the tube to fight
Burning, burning, burning
The dire tweets they type away
From them to everywhere they go
Show us they have nothing to say
In my Blue world
I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan
Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on
Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan
Yes, I'm yearning to groan cause you keep coming on
Why you keep coming on if I'm yearning to groan?
You've been on for so long that I can’t carry on
Yes, I'm yearning, I'm yearning, I'm yearning to groan
The shouting voices on the mall
The foot tap in the stall
Are all I hear since you've been on
Yearning, yearning, yearning
And though I sit here as you hate
I yearn to groan, I yearn to groan
You will return again some day
To my Blue world
I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan
Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on
Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan
I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan
Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on
Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan
