TV From Hell
Lyrics

Children watch explicit violence

Parents try to break the silence

“How was your day at school?”

“Fuck off mum, you’re way uncool”

Say TV zombified the nations right in front of me

Come on the dinner’s on the table

Kids freak out cos they’re unstable

“Got to get my daily dose”

“But TV makes you comatose”

-

SAY TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

FOR THE SAKE OF ENTERTAINMENT BROADCAST TERRESTRIALLY

SATAN’S EVIL SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE TV COMPANIES

TWO BILLION PEOPLE FELL UNDER HIS SPELL

THAT TV CAME STRAIGHT FROM HELL

TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

-

It’s just a glorified box

But no-one ever turns it off

They worship it night and day

Eat their dinner from a tray

Say TV zombified the nations right in front of me

The set is calling now I’m sure

It enslaves the insecure

With a will to advertise

It influences what we buy

-

SAY TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

FOR THE SAKE OF ENTERTAINMENT BROADCAST TERRESTRIALLY

SATAN’S EVIL SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE TV COMPANIES

TWO BILLION PEOPLE FELL UNDER HIS SPELL

THAT TV CAME STRAIGHT FROM HELL

TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

-

Fools are used to staying up

Huddled with a coffee cup

The only thing, that will keep

Them from watching in their sleep

Say TV zombified the nations right in front of me

Shambling along it’s clear

None of them pretend to hear

Anything but the TV

They never even stop to breathe

-

SAY TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

FOR THE SAKE OF ENTERTAINMENT BROADCAST TERRESTRIALLY

SATAN’S EVIL SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE TV COMPANIES

TWO BILLION PEOPLE FELL UNDER HIS SPELL

THAT TV CAME STRAIGHT FROM HELL

TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

-

Insomnia is increasing

So is crime and bad policing

Cops say they can’t keep control

They should hide the damn remotes

Say TV zombified the nations right in front of me

No compassion, cold as ice

They carry out their pointless lives

The fire doesn’t burn inside

The scanning lines corrupt their minds

-

SAY TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

FOR THE SAKE OF ENTERTAINMENT BROADCAST TERRESTRIALLY

SATAN’S EVIL SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE TV COMPANIES

TWO BILLION PEOPLE FELL UNDER HIS SPELL

THAT TV CAME STRAIGHT FROM HELL

TV ZOMBIFIED THE NATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

Lowdown

Yank politicians piss me off. They try win votes by blaming society's ills on games, tv, films, music, in fact anything that young people are traditionally interested in.

It's all vote winning rhetoric, but for some reason some people listen. Course, the real fault lies with the parents who let 6 year old little timmy play on Grand Theft Auto or watch violent stuff on TV unsupervised, but it's easier to blame inanimate objects, so that's what they do.

Anyway, TV From Hell is written from the point of view of one of these politicians, being drawn further and further into his own fantasy. I.e. the more he thinks about it, the more he starts believing his own bullshit.
