Television

歌詞

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 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 movie 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… "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. And they laugh and they wave, Behind the glass they're there to stay… But our script, it don't fit, You know the bad guy always pays. Now I'm alone. There's no one home. So I turn on my television.
