Television lyrics:
Hello Mr Officer, we're just having fun
You can take the handcuffs off, I promise we won't run
Speedboats and Versace coats, an olive in my glass
Jailbird scores and gold-toothed smiles, they love my rich girl class
So you took away our money but you'll never take away our love.
And we'll never go to Heaven, but don't need to when you live this good?
Cause men will fight and girls will lie, just like on the Television
So don't tell us this ain't right, it's just like on the Television
The silence, the violence
We don't need to be forgiven
Your business, go mind it
Cause this ain't ****ing Jerry Springer
We say our lines, we do the time
We're just like on the Television
If I paint my sins white, will it make me pure again?
If I wet my mascara eyes, will the witness be my friend?
Nicotine and low-life dreams have never felt so warm
When your father's on the bottle, and your mother's on the floor
Got the whole town lookin in my window every day of the week
I'mma run, **** the fun, no this isn't like a movie scene
Cause men will fight and girls will lie, just like on the Television
So don't tell us this ain't right, it's just like on the Television
The silence, the violence
We don't need to be forgiven
Your business, go mind it
Cause this ain't ****ing Jerry Springer
We say our lines, we do the time
We're just like on the Television
Bad mistakes and good intentions
Ain't what they're saying 'bout us in the paper
Fast forward, no, can't change the station
If it's 7 years, then 7 years I'm waiting for you
Cause where I'm from, it all goes wrong
It's not like on the Television
The darkest days don't fade away
Can't turn it off like Television
And they laugh, and they wave
Behind the glass, they're there to stay
But our script, it don't fit
You know the bad guy always pays
And I'm alone, there's no one home
So I turn on my Television
AAAAAaAaAAaAAaAAAaaaaaaaaaaAaAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!!!!!!111!!!!1!1!11!!!!
The only part I can't make out is the .... in parentheses up there.
SUCH AN ANTHEM! An iconic masterpiece which will somehow find its way into the mainstream consciousness and become a classic for decades!!
