Oh, TV stop depressing us
give us a specimen grin.
Everything you say is so disappointing,
give us something
that could be worth wanting.
I know what you want,
you want something to cheer you up,
you want to sit in al big field under hte sun,
I know what you want,
you want to think you´re having fun
as you stare into barrel of a gun.
Sometimes it seems life´s so ordinary,
never hitting the mark.
We´re missing stiches in this close-knit
community, they´re tearing all our houses
down to build a shopping theme park.
They know what we want,
we want something to cheer us up,
we want to sit in a big field under the sun.
They know what we want we
want to think we´re having fun
as we stare into the barrel of the gun.
The writing´s on the wall
and it´s making my skin crawl.
But while Rome burns
they´re fiddling the figures,
we warm our hands in the flames.
They say it´s luxury
just stay down on your knees,
they toss us a cherry
as they´re eating our cake.
Because they know what we want,
we want something to cheer us up,
we want to sit in a field under the sun.
They know what we want,
we want to think we´re having fun
as we stare into the barrel of a gun
