The television
Look at the tread separate from the tire
Right off his balcony
I think I'm almost in it
The perfect light in the dark of night
Look at the sirens on the cop cars
Scream and scream and run for her life
'Cause you cannot fight the television
Give me glamor and sedition
Look at the pom-pom, prom queen
Look at me hypnotized and half alive
Look at him folding on a better hand
Look at the convicts filing the bars
The television
Look at the fat man burst at the seams
Look at the quagmire
Some parts are paralyzed
Look at the captain with the galaxy
The television, television
Look at the betting man
Look at the wife, look at the knife
And it's always right
Give up the world, give up your life
Maybe it's four or five
Look at the junky trying to get a gram
Look at the pop stars
The fearless light in the dark of night
Oh, it's always right
Look at them trying to get the flag higher
The television, television
Some parts are sleeping
The, television, television
(The, television, television)
(The, television, television)
Just one more minute, just one more minute
Give up the world, give up your life
'Cause you cannot fight the television
Look at the science and the alchemy
Give me tits and politicians
The, television, television
(Television, television)
Give me death and demolition
