But it's shit we don't see it though we watch it on the telly

Every day

We give our heroes license to kill in reality

Just like on tv

And we wish we were in his shoes 'cos he gets all the girls

Treats them as property

A pile of shit we don't see it, though we watch it on telly

Every day

That's an electrode in our front rooms a house plant

Pumping in signals

Only five feet from being an implant

Pumping in signals

How often do we leave it switched on?

Channel s.h.1.t.

How often do we sit there switched off?

Staring at it blindly?

Jane's dad closed the book

'not another peep out of you tonight,' he whispered

'it's not fair,' thought jane, 'why's it always the boys who get to do the exciting things?'
