TV Song

Lyrics

I've seen the stupid stare on thousands of our faces Watched my thoughts carelessly fall away While I fumbled for the right words to say My brain is such a mish-mash of mtv videos and vast and vacant spaces And I look around and see 1000 drooling idiots just the f**kin' same as me We've been weened on Mr. Rogers We all worship the tv that sucks our f**kin' imaginations from our heads And no one wants to see the generation of zombies in their f**kin' sick parade Marching forward to the beat of "house of style" and "singled out" But i flip to it the same as you bored shitless on my couch And why am i bored? It's because when i was growing up i saw everything played out And i could flip the channel tirelessly And since I was so capable My attention span shrunk to fit to the point Where I reject things that aren't syntheic blobs of shit I want an easy answer I need a f**kin' catch all phrase I don't have the time or the patience to read a book And figure shit out for myself When it's spelled out for me as pain as f**kin' day And with pretty flashing lights and sounds to keep me entertained I'm like a dog trained by a box "like" and "totally" fill my day And "i think i'm going crazy man," has become f**king cliche And i think I'm going crazy or was i just raised that way And I think hard about nothing as I stare off into space 'cause we need to turn our heads on 'cause our brains are getting soft So exercise your brain and turn the tv f**kin' off, whoa
