about

this is an older song i hadn't recorded officially so Gray put an upbeat beat to it and we FOK DUBbed it up.

lyrics

on channel three walking cliches with pretty faces say their lines
on channel four the morning soap plays out exactly as before
on channel five somebody dies
on channel six the weather map shows simulated skies

on seven city council sits around discussing what to do
on eight a picture of the marble earth from outer space
on channel nine every thing's fine
on channel ten every thing's been done before, let’s do it again

i think my TV has been watching me
i think it has seen how lazy i’ve been

on twenty one the close up as a man in makeup starts to cry
on twenty two the room yells surprise but he doesn’t look surprise
on twenty three a shooting spree
on twenty four you’re stuck you buy a brand new truck, life’s a smooth ride

on twenty four you wait backstage, your bitter ex tells ‘bout the sex
on twenty five a big blue wave of bathroom cleanser cleans the sinks
on twenty six you get a loan, buy a home, sleep well at night
on twenty seven you’re a cartoon kid, your parents never fight
on twenty eight reporters hound you on your way into the court
on twenty nine a laugh track plays over a picture of your face
on thirty one you get more done you build a house in half an hour
on thirty two you’ve got the shoes you’ve got the moves you never lose

i think my TV has been watching me
it cut up my dreams to sell ads for jeans
Hollywood me, is nothing to be
i’m inside that screen trying to get free
