Television Promises

Late night viewing shadows on my face
Try to go to sleep but I couldn't look away
Change the channel 'cause I couldn't wait
To watch another human to put a robot out in space
Well we all wanna be reality stars
But wouldn't it be nice to drive a second hand car
Well jealousy is such an evil game
If nobody was different then we'd all just look the same

I'm the king of wishful thinking but I'm hit with indecision
Every time I turn the TV on these days
But I don't know if I'm wishing it messed up or if I'm missing
All the things that I can see on the display
We don't want your television promises
We all know this generation follows it
And I'll need a sigh of relief for the tongue and cheek
Of your television promises

And now it's morning in a shame old state
A message on the box asking if I'm still awake
I've been yawning I should leave this place
The static screen is going to indoctrinate me
I only hope I can make that change
Or maybe even get up off my ass for just one day
But then I switch the TV on again
I'm watching heavy shakers bake a fucking cake

I'm the king of wishful thinking but I'm hit with indecision
Every time I turn the TV on these days
But I don't know if I'm wishing it messed up or if I'm missing
All the things that I can see on the display
We don't want your television promises
We all know this generation follows it
I'll need a sigh of relief for the tongue and cheek of your television promises

Television Promises

Oh no here we go, seeing the down
I'm not watching till I'm old my fucking phone
Scrolling through the media trying get rid of it

We don't want your television promises
We all know this generation follows it
I'll need a sigh of relief for the tongue and cheek of your television promises

T-t-t-t-t
Television promises
Television promises
Television promises
Television
