Telecide

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Listen, boys and girls
About the other world
It's just a day job, night job
Odd job, nose job
Hand job, blow job
Rack job, snow job
Boring 9-to-5 job
Rather have a knob job
Things get too inertial
No time for commercials

[Verse 2]
I'd rather be a clone
I guess I'm going home
To visit Kojak, Gong Show
Happy Days, Adam-12
Edge Of Night, Love Of Life
Johnny Carson, Merv and Mike
Good Times, Make A Deal
Charlie's Angels, Family Feud
Feeling so much thinner
I need a TV dinner

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm mad as hell
And I'm not gonna take it anymore!

[Chorus]
(TV suicide) TV suicide
(TV suicide) TV suicide
What a lovely way to die
It's a television suicide

[Verse 3]
Please stand by
We're coming to you live
'Cause we got news, hot news
Flash news, trash news
Funny news, stupid news
Comprehensive overviews
Eyewitness TV news
Brought to you by Gucci shoes
This one is so juicy
We're pre-empting Lucy

[Verse 4]
Coming down the street
The sound of running feet
He's at the front door, back door
Side door, cellar door
First floor, second floor
Third floor, bedroom door
Throws himself across the floor
Turns it on to Channel 4
Stay tuned to this channel
For our all-star panel

[Pre-Chorus]
(I used to know him)
(He seemed like a regular guy)

[Chorus]
(TV suicide) TV suicide
(TV suicide) TV suicide
What a lovely way to die
It's another case of telecide

[Chorus]
(TV suicide) TV suicide
(TV suicide) TV suicide
What a lovely way to die
It's a television suicide

[Instrumental Bridge 1]

[Instrumental Bridge 2]

[Instrumental Bridge 3]

[Chorus]
TV suicide, TV suicide
(TV suicide) TV suicide
(TV suicide) TV suicide
(What a lovely way to die) TV suicide
(It's a) Television suicide

[Instrumental Outro]
