Boring the Children - The Futureheads

Too many normal people on the television

These people are the stars but they should be tuning in

Get rid of them, get rid of them, get rid of them

Because they’re boring the children

Too many normal people on the box

A great invention has been ruined by the bosses

Of the channels and the stations

And it’s quality you cannot trust

Don’t waste my time, time, time

Or I’ll turn you off, put the child lock on

Lose the code and never switch you

Back on, back on, back on

How do I escape this fate?

I can remember when it used to be great

Too many normal people in this competition

Promise after promise that they’ll never be forgotten

Well, I can promise them they will be heartbroken

And they’re boring the children

Don’t waste my time, time, time

Or I’ll turn you off, put the child lock on

Lose the code and never switch you

Back on, back on, back on

How do I escape this fate?

I can remember when it used to be great

On Friday night I turn over so many times

My television started to whine about it

On a Friday night he loses his mind

He says he wants to leave me

(Too many normal people on the TV)

Too many normal people on the TV

He says he wants to leave me

(Too many normal people on the TV)

Too many normal people on the TV, TV
