Jack Ziesemer - Television

To Rate
Verse 1

(2, 3, 4)
Look ma, I'm on television
Don't you wish you were
Babbling on talk show
Talking heads and burning beds
And Syd Barrett is dead
Like the public's mental conscience

Verse 2

Look man, we don't care
About your anti-fascist dream
Cause then we'd lose all our viewers
Radio noise, lead filled toys
And toxins in the air
Oh isn't it just lovely

Chorus

Oh, see how they run
Oh, see how they run, run

Verse 3
Look ma, I'm on aeroplanes
I'm drifting through the sky
Hate to tell you I feel empty
I'd jump out this plane
Just to get myself on the news
Cause I don't care bout your feelings

Chorus

Oh, see how they run
Oh, blot out the sun, run

Verse 3

Look ma, I'm on television
Don't you wish you were
Babbling on this freak show
Talking heads and burning beds
And Syd Barrett is dead
Like the public's mental conscience
Oh, see how they
Look ma, I’m on television
Don’t you wish you were?
