      What do these lyrics refer to?

      Quote Originally Posted by I saw it on TV by Creedence Clearwater Revival
      The old man rocks among his dreams, a prisoner of the porch;
      "the light," he says "at the end of the tunnel,
      Was nothin’ but a burglar’s torch."
      And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free,
      But they chained my mind to an endless tomb
      When they took my only son from me.
      The rest of the verses are very obvious, but I can not figure out what this is referring to. The song goes in chronological order of important event in television history, and the verse immediately before referred to Vietnam and the song came out in 1985. What was in between that?

      Is the name of the song "I saw it on TV"?
      I'm trying to look it up on Playlist.

      **EDIT**
      NM... I looked up the lyrics. It's by John Fogerty ?

      Yeah, looks like it was Fogerty when he was on his own, not in CCR
