“We Don’t Believe What’s On TV” interplays two of Tyler’s possiblities in Blurryface: that his aspirations will not turn out, and that he’ll have his loved ones regardless of what happens.

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 1]
We don't believe what's on TV
Because it's what we want to see
And what we want we know we can't believe
We have all learned to kill our dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to know
That when I fail, you'll still be here, mmm
'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
An' we'll make money selling your hair
[Chorus]
I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old"
But because of you, I might think twice
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Interlude]
Alright, second verse
[Verse 2]
What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what I've told my friends?
Don't want to know who I would be
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to know
That when I fail, you'll still be here, oh
'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
And we'll make money selling your hair
[Chorus]
But I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you, I might think twice
I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you, I might think twice
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
