Stephen Marcussen - Idiot Box lyrics

[Verse 1] You keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches You can't make me think like you, mundane I've got a message for all those who think that They can etch his words inside my brain Inside my brain [Chorus] T.V., what do I need? Tell me who to believe! What's the use of autonomy When a bu*ton does it all? Does it all, does it all [Verse 2] So listen up Listen up closely all Who've seen the f**ing eye-ache too It's time to step away from cable train And when we finally see the subtle light This quirk in evolution will begin To let us live and recreate [Chorus] T.V., what do I need? Tell me who to believe! What's the use of autonomy When a bu*ton does it all? T.V., what did I see? Tell me who should I be! Let's do our Mom a favor And drop a new God off the wall [Outro] Let me see past the fatuous knocks I've got to rid myself of this idiot box! Let you see past the feathers and flocks And help me plant a bomb in this idiot box! From the depths of the sea To the tops of the trees To the seat of a lazy boy Staring at a silver screen! [Chorus] T.V., what do I need? Tell me who to believe! What's the use of autonomy When a bu*ton does it all? T.V., what did I see? Tell me who should I be! Let's do our Mom a favor And drop a new God off my wall
