Watch TV
[Verse 1]
Opening scene, alone in the glow of the screen
You awoke from your dream to breaking news
For it seems you’ve misplaced the remote
Don’t you want to be brain washed with a variation of soaps?
Then just sit at home and never miss a moment?
Got questions? Pause the action before you ask them
Your fear levels are already topped up change the channel hurry
You’d think the song was don’t be happy worry
From philosophy and sacred geometry
To watching the X-Factor and playing the Lottery
While we neck spirits like they were dumber back then init?
Please, they didn’t even have TV’s
Look how advanced we are in our fancy car
Shouting slogans at the telly standing at the bar
You’re the funniest person your friends know
Cause you repeat catchphrases from their favorite sketch show
[Chorus] (x2)
Just people watching people watching a TV show
Watching people watching the TV
Watching people watching the TV
And it was a hit but now we want it in 3D
[Verse 2]
Get with the program, no I’d rather not
Watch a spoilt rich kid gargle pop and boast about the cars they’ve got
De-brained consumer, keep it shtum, obey your ruler
And keep your eyes on the screen when reaching for the ice cooler
Cause how you going to know what to buy if it isn’t advertised to ye’?
What’s the latest "Real House Wives" rumor?
What is life? Ignore that benign tumor
And keep yourself distracted with plastic tits
And talentless blonde haired blue eyes savages
With overpriced veneers and over hyped careers
You wish you could close your eyes and ears
But when you’re free from the grasp of the TV
There’s nothing to say unless you watched the shit yesterday
The show goes on forever fuck an ending
Come home from work, get comfy and plug yourself in
[Chorus] (x2)
Just people watching people watching a TV show
Watching people watching the TV
Watching people watching the TV
And it was a hit but now we want it in 3D
[Outro 1] (x2)
Everybody’s watching it, it’s the show they’re all talking about
So what you talking about eh? If you’re not talking about it
What you talking about? Tit
[Outro 2: Sample]
Dad just picked it up today, our first television set
Do you have a television?
Well yeah, you know we have two of them
Wow you must be rich!
Oh honey, he's teasing you, nobody has two television sets
