lyrics

A guy woke up, he had an idea, he invented television
Now when people come over to his house, they all watch television

They’re watchin’ baseball
They’re watchin’ TV
Movies, entertainment, motion pictures
That’s watchin’ television

Maybe it’s a cloudy day, you’re staying home, you’re lounging nicely
And an idea pops in your head, so you get an ice cream
Next, you’re dealing with the creeping endless dread that lives inside you nightly
So you pop on the TV and scream for help politely

You’re watching movies
I’m talkin’ television
Endless entertainment for your brain
You’re watching television

What’s your favorite
(TV SHOW)
The one with the guy?
(I LOVE THAT SHOW)
I’ve watched that show, I’ve seen it on TV

The world seems like a burning shit heap
It’s hard to even breathe
And you’re killed for being black and just for living
Now the whole world starts to bleed
Just then, it seems you’re hitting bottom
And you start to peek out behind those sleeves
And the bottom falls out before you
The void is coming! The void coming!
And it swallows you

You’re watchin’ baseball
You’re watchin’ TV
Movies, entertainment, motion pictures
All right on the television

Oh my god it’s Sinbad
He’s right there on the television
Endless waves of spinning pleasure
Inside your lovely television

What’s your favorite
(TV SHOW)
The one with the guy?
(I LOVE THAT SHOW)
I’ve watched that show, I’ve seen it on TV
