Television lyrics

Hello Mr. Officer

We’re just having fun,

You can take the handcuffs off I promise we won’t run

Speed boats and Versace coats,

An olive in my glass

Jail bird scars and gold tooth smiles-

They love my rich girl class.

You took away our money

But you’ll never take away our love,

And we’ll never go to heaven

But who needs to when you live this good?

‘Cause men will fight

And girls will lie,

Just like on the television

So don’t tell us

That this ain’t right,

It’s just like on the television

The silence

The violence

We don’t need to be forgiven

Your business Go mind it

Cause this ain’t fucking Jerry Springer

We say our lines,

We do the time,

We’re just like on the television… Television

If I paint my sins white

Will it make me pure again?

If I wet my mascara eyes

Will the witness be my friend?

Nicotine and low life dreams

Have never felt so warm

When your father’s on the bottle

And your mother’s on the floor

Got the whole town looking through our window

Every day of the week.

On the run, fuck the fun

No this isn’t like the movies scenes…

‘Cause men will fight

And girls will lie,

Just like on the television

So don’t tell us

That this ain’t right,

It’s just like on the television

The silence

The violence

We don’t need to be forgiven

Your business Go mind it

Cause this ain’t fucking Jerry Springer

We say our lines,

We do the time,

We’re just like on the television… Television

“Bad mistakes and good intentions”

Ain’t what they’re saying about us in the papers…

Fast forward? No.

Can’t change the station.

If it’s 7 years, then 7 years I’m waiting for you…

Where I’m from It all goes wrong,

It’s not like on the television

The darkest days

Don’t fade away,

Can’t turn it off like television-

They laugh and they wave,

Behind the glass they’re there to stay…

But our script, it don’t fit,

You know bad guy always pays

Now I’m alone.

There’s no one home.

So I turn on my television.
