As television competes with the precious time That each one holds in life Can tough decisions be made With a brainwashed mine With this disease you'll find How hard we try to blend Why can't we find it in some other way - You place your faith in the hands of a TV show Watch ratings overflow It was a vision to bring to the human kind To give us peace of mind - Walk in the door, plop on the couch... TV Shoved in your face, regular slouch... TV Fat as a fuck, big as a house... TV Killing your brain with network disease... TV You're flippin around, flickin around Searching for the right channel Looking for the right channel, flip it And you won't see in what they thought out right You won't see it in my head And you won't infiltrate my fucking brain Or manipulate my fucking time, it's mine And so we try to blend And will we find to live another way - Now television's a game that the rich ones play It doesn't walk my way It's their decisions they make that they carve in stone It doesn't reach my home - Poverty, death, hunger, disease... TV Driving a truck and falling asleep... TV Kids shooting guns inside of school... TV Waging a war so what does it mean.... TV You're flippin around, flickin around Searching for the right channel Looking for the right channel, flip it And you won't see in what they thought out right You won't see it in my head And you won't infiltrate my fucking brain Or manipulate my fucking time, it's mine And so we try to blend And will we find to live another way
