Chumbawamba - House Plants lyrics

But it's sh** we don't see it though we watch it on the telly Every day We give our heroes license to k** 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 sh** 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?'
