Watch TV - Lee Scott

Opening scene, alone in the glow of the screen

You awoke from your dream to breaking news

For it seems you’ve misplaced the remote

Don’t you want to be brain washed with a variation of soaps?

Then just sit at home and never miss a moment?

Got questions?

Pause the action before you ask them

Your fear levels are already topped up change the channel hurry

You’d think the song was don’t be happy worry

From philosophy and sacred geometry

To watching the X-Factor and playing the Lottery

While we neck spirits like they were dumber back then init?

Please, they didn’t even have TV’s

Look how advanced we are in our fancy car

Shouting slogans at the telly standing at the bar

You’re the funniest person your friends know

Cause you repeat catchphrases from their favorite sketch show

Just people watching people watching a TV show

Watching people watching the TV

Watching people watching the TV

And it was a hit but now we want it in 3D

Get with the program, no I’d rather not

Watch a spoilt rich kid gargle pop and boast about the cars they’ve got

De-brained consumer, keep it shtum, obey your ruler

And keep your eyes on the screen when reaching for the ice cooler

Cause how you going to know what to buy if it isn’t advertised to ye'?

What’s the latest «Real House Wives» rumor?

What is life?

Ignore that benign tumor

And keep yourself distracted with plastic tits

And talentless blonde haired blue eyes savages

With overpriced veneers and over hyped careers

You wish you could close your eyes and ears

But when you’re free from the grasp of the TV

There’s nothing to say unless you watched the shit yesterday

The show goes on forever fuck an ending

Come home from work, get comfy and plug yourself in

Just people watching people watching a TV show

Watching people watching the TV

Watching people watching the TV

And it was a hit but now we want it in 3D

Everybody’s watching it, it’s the show they’re all talking about

So what you talking about eh?

If you’re not talking about it

What you talking about?

Tit

Dad just picked it up today, our first television set

Do you have a television?

Well yeah, you know we have two of them

Wow you must be rich!

Oh honey, he’s teasing you, nobody has two television sets
