Freak shows, talk shows Living off our misery Dozens of psychics celebrity sidekicks Telling us all just what we need to know Guess it's a sign of the times Guess it's the way of the day Nothing but vertical lines empty minds
Yeah we hear you talking But we don't know what it means You just keep on talking As we live our lives in chains
Hey there Miss Oprah what's doing today? Just smiling at me on TV Why go anywhere? We can shop from a chair In this remote society I seen it coming around Will I be here for the day? Can we survive underground? Going down
Yeah we hear you talking But we don't know what it means You just keep on talking As we live our lives in chains We're living in chains While you're eating at our brains We live our lives in chains
Coming on the air Going to knock you in your chair Boy wait till you hear the news Got a woman coming on Who can really get it on Going to show you what she can do
Got a family in a fight Going to help them get it right Going to straighten out their miserable lives We got it all here on the show And we want you all to know If you miss this one you're going to die Turn me on
Yeah we hear you talking But we don't know what it means You just keep on talking As we live our lives in chains Yeah we hear you talking But we don't care what it means Just love to hear you talking As we live our lives in chains We're living in chains While you're eating at our brains
We live our lives in chains We're living in chains I just don't understand Why we live our lives in chains Shackled to the air We live our lives in chains
