He has his own agenda...
The TV wants you fat
The TV wants you scared
He wants you to remain paralyzed
And keep your vision impaired

The TV wants you dumb
The TV wants you blind
He wants to push you to the point
Where you finally lose your mind

The TV wants you to medicate
The TV wants you to drink
He wants you under the influence
So your brain is too weak to think

The TV wants you to buy
The TV wants you to sell
He wants to make sure you don't realize
The power of his spell

The TV wants you to have acne
The TV wants you to change your phone
He tries to convince you to buy insurance
And that life is accident prone

The TV wants you sitting
The TV hates it when you live
He wants to keep us like zombies
Feeding off whatever he gives

The TV wants to trick you
The TV wants you to believe his fake news
He hates it when you are motivated
So he's always giving you the blues

The TV wants you terrorized
The TV wants you pissed
He wants to make you believe in
A world that doesn't exist

So next time you're feeling bored
And you have nothing to do
Be creative and live your life
'Cause the TV's got nothing for you
