The Broadways - T.V. Song lyrics

rate me

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 fuckin' same as me.

We've been weened on Mr. Rogers

we all worship the tv that sucks our fuckin' imaginations from our heads

and no one wants to see the generation of zombies in their fuckin' 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 fuckin' 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 fuckin' 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 fucking 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

cuz we need to turn our heads on cuz our brains are getting soft,

so exercise your brain and turn the tv fuckin' off, whoa.
