tv killed me
in league with the boredom
alone and my life was such a mess
i'm throwing the towel in
picking my hat up from the ring
that i just can't compete in
'cos tv killed me

you're so perfect
so perfectly vacant
you shame me with your worrying and scurrying
your plans seem so senseless
worn out, violence-less
join me if you're brave, come to my grave
'cos tv killed me

i want your warm sedation
around my brain
and with your nation's anthem
we'll fade away
into static ashes

now that i'm wired
the cable's expired
you hurt me with your promises of promises
but tv killed me
