Telecide

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Listen, boys and girls

About the other world

It's just a day job, night job

Odd job, nose job

Hand job, blow job

Rack job, snow job

Boring 9-to-5 job

Rather have a knob job

Things get too inertial

No time for commercials

[Verse 2]

I'd rather be a clone

I guess I'm going home

To visit Kojak, Gong Show

Happy Days, Adam-12

Edge Of Night, Love Of Life

Johnny Carson, Merv and Mike

Good Times, Make A Deal

Charlie's Angels, Family Feud

Feeling so much thinner

I need a TV dinner

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm mad as hell

And I'm not gonna take it anymore!

[Chorus]

(TV suicide) TV suicide

(TV suicide) TV suicide

What a lovely way to die

It's a television suicide

[Verse 3]

Please stand by

We're coming to you live

'Cause we got news, hot news

Flash news, trash news

Funny news, stupid news

Comprehensive overviews

Eyewitness TV news

Brought to you by Gucci shoes

This one is so juicy

We're pre-empting Lucy

[Verse 4]

Coming down the street

The sound of running feet

He's at the front door, back door

Side door, cellar door

First floor, second floor

Third floor, bedroom door

Throws himself across the floor

Turns it on to Channel 4

Stay tuned to this channel

For our all-star panel

[Pre-Chorus]

(I used to know him)

(He seemed like a regular guy)

[Chorus]

(TV suicide) TV suicide

(TV suicide) TV suicide

What a lovely way to die

It's another case of telecide

[Chorus]

(TV suicide) TV suicide

(TV suicide) TV suicide

What a lovely way to die

It's a television suicide

[Instrumental Bridge 1]

[Instrumental Bridge 2]

[Instrumental Bridge 3]

[Chorus]

TV suicide, TV suicide

(TV suicide) TV suicide

(TV suicide) TV suicide

(What a lovely way to die) TV suicide

(It's a) Television suicide
