Lyrics
Television, television
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at the hottie in the tight jeans,
Look at the pipe dreams,
Look at the fat man burst at the seams
Look at the captain with the galaxy, right off his balcony
Look at the science and your alchemy
Look at the sirens on the cop cars
Look at the pop stars
Look at the convicts filing the bars
Look at the wife, look at the knife
Look at the pom pom prom queen scream and scream and run for her life
Oh it's always right, the perfect light, the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life 'cause you cannot fight the television
Ooh television television
Ooh the television!
Look at them trying to get the flag higher
Look at the quagmire
Look at the tread separate from the tire
Look at the junkie trying to get a gram
Look at the betting man,
Look at him folding on the better hand
Oh its always right, the fearless light, the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life 'cause you cannot fight the television
Ooh television television
Ooh the television television
Oh the television
Look at me hypnotized and half alive,
maybe its four or five
some parts are sleeping, some parts are paralyzed
just one more minute, just one more minute,
I think I'm almost in it
The television television
Ooh television television
Oooohh give me tits and politicians!
Give me death and demolition!
Give me glamour and sedition!
