Lyrics
Television Addict
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.
I read the news the other day about a boy they threw away
He went out and shot someone like some goddamn teleplay
He claimed he was confused between fact and fantasy
Seems he spent all his time in front of a tv screen
(And was a) television addict
His lawyers said this boy was sick blaming ratings for his crime
They said too much sex and too much violence on the idiot box blew up his idiot mind
(He was a) television addict
Watch it
(He was a) television addict
You and me we spend all our time in front of the window of the world
And just because I watch diner, sure doesn't mean I need a face lift
Doesn't mean my brain has skipped. Doesn't mean anything
There's more going on inside my mind than on any television screen
(He was a) television addict
Just because I watch prisoner, cop shop, fat cat, humphrey fucking b
(I'm a) television addict
