I Wouldn't Watch a Show That Features War and Child Abuse

from Dopamine by Billy Puntton

/

lyrics

When I turn on my tv
there's nothing I see
except for war and rape and child abuse
with a g rating

We sit absorb and we believe
that we need to see
to watch the news is our responsibility
our democratic right

But has anyone thought that just maybe
watching the news fucks our brain chemistry
who picks the stories that we see
like a die hard film with too many sequels

The world seems fucked and I will not watch it
burn to the ground through a coloured box
see the world how I wanna see
I'll watch The Simpsons every night cos

Life's short
and I wanna live it
I won't worry myself with the world cos I'm depressed as it is

When I turn and check the clock
it's nearly 3
in the afternoon I'd better go
and watch TV

I find out Leonard Nimoy's died
but no one cares cos
there's a blue dress on the internet
that's currently trending

It seems like every week
a celebrity dies and a nobody sings
go watch the news have no fun
live a miserable life
repeat the process

You're born
you dream
for frivolous things that you don't mean
I'm born
i dream
for real things like insanity cos

Life's taught
and you are a student
the class are all in uniform
aiming for the highest score

And I'm the kid up back of the room
headphones in and my head on the desk
I dream I feel I'm diagnosed
with A.D.D
creative syndrome

Take these pills you'll be one of us
just fall into line stop acting so fucked
just sit down and please shut-up
there's no industry for your brand of punk
the world seems fucked and I will not watch it
burn to the ground through a coloured box
see the world how I wanna see
I'll watch The Simpsons every night cos

Life's short
and I wanna live it
I won't myself with the world
cos I'm depressed as it is
