Lyrics
I LOVE MY TELEVISION
VERSE 1
I love my television, not what I see on TV
It's not my decision, what's on channel 23
Speaking with derision about someone like me
TV tries to change your vision, what you hear and what you see
CHORUS
I remember black and white turning into Technicolor
The future looked so bright, we'd all be sisters and brothers
Turn off the television said our fathers and mothers
Back then we all hoped, we'd all be sisters and brothers
we'd all be sisters and brothers, we'd all be sisters and brothers
VERSE 2
I love my television, not what I see on TV
Feels like a brain incision, what's it does to me
Facing a verbal collision. Lies and hypocrisy
Stereotypes, superstition, lost responsibility
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I love my television, not what I see on TV
This flat panel revision - better than old CRTs
Whatever is the mission, it's still not clear to me
Still is can be your decision, what to hear and what to see
CHORUS
