I Don't Want to Be on Tv |
Bit by bit as plucky falls to sleep |
She sits there in the night of terror and watches her tv And it’s so quiet here in tonight, she looks skinny in the light |
In her under wire her face so fine, she’s higher than a kite |
She says what about me; |
and I’m dying inside complete |
Have you ever wanted anything so bad you couldn’t see? |
No oh oh; |
no oh oh not me; |
no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv |
In my town there’s a tv station, cracks just like a flair? |
He’s staring at a woman, she is staring back at him |
You can cut the tension with a knife; |
we’re expecting rain tonight |
There’s a weather system blowing in from Santa Ana all night |
She thinks, what about me, so what’s here on tv |
I don’t care about your pompous ass, I care about this baby |
No oh oh; |
no oh oh not me; |
no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv |
Everyone in this city seems to take it like a drug |
Sit up all night faces so white, they just can’t get enough |
And the shows are all the same, and there’s something I can’t name |
The snickering of this flickering screen the noise numbing my brain |
So I think well, what about me, I’ll just (mumbled) of me These walls and bars and then there’s whores just dying next to me No oh oh; |
no oh oh not me; |
no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv |
No oh oh; |
no oh oh not me; |
no oh oh; |
no oh oh… |
