The Victims - Television Addict lyrics

Read the news the other day
About a boy they threw away
He went out and shot someone
Like some Kojak teleplay

He claimed he was confused
Between fact and fantasy
It seems he spent all of his time
In front of TV screen

He was a
Television addict [x4]

His lawyer said 'this boy is sick'
'Blame the ratings for his crime'
They say too much sex and too much violence
On the idiot box spoiled his idiot mind

He was a
Television addict [x4]

Watch it

Television addict [x2]
That's right
Television addict [x2]

You and me, we spend all of our time
In front of window on the world
Just because I watch Dinah Shore
Doesn't mean I need a facelift
Doesn't mean my brain has slipped
Doesn't mean anything

There's more everything on my mind than on any television screen

We're not dumb
Television addict
[4x]
