THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - I Don't Want To Be On T.V. lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Beat by beat as Becky falls to sleep <br>

She sits in her electric chair and watches the TV. <br>

And its so quiet here in tonight, she looks skinny in the light, <br>

In her under wire her face so fair, she’s higher than a kite. <br>

She says: "well, what about me; am I dying silently? <br>

Have you ever wanted anything so bad you couldn’t see?" <br>

<br>

No oh oh; <br>

no oh oh not me; <br>

no oh oh... <br>

I don’t wanna be on TV <br>

<br>

And the man down at the TV station, cracks his knuckles bare. <br>

He’s starin at a woman, she is starin back at him. <br>

You can cut the tension with a knife; we’re expecting rain tonight. <br>

There’s a weather system blowing in from Santa Ana all night. <br>

She thinks: "well what about me? So what, you're on TV? <br>

I don’t care about your pompous ass, I care about this baby." <br>

<br>

No oh oh; <br>

no oh oh not me; <br>

no oh oh... <br>

I don’t wanna be on TV <br>

<br>

Everyone in this city seems to take it like a drug. <br>

Sit up all night, faces so white, they just can’t get enough. <br>

And the shows are all the same, and there’s something I can’t name. <br>

The snickering on this flickering screen, the noise numbing my brain. <br>

So I think: "Well, what about me? Will I just die silently? <br>

With all these walls and bars and endless whores just dying next to me? <br>

<br>

No oh oh; <br>

no oh oh not me; <br>

no oh oh... <br>

I don’t wanna be on TV <br>

No oh oh; <br>

no oh oh not me; <br>

no oh oh; <br>

no oh oh...<br>

<BR><BR>
