Lyrics

[Intro]

Television

Television

Television

Television

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Verse 1]

Woke up, turned on the TV

Went to sleep watching TV

Breaking news on the TV

Must be true, it's on TV

Pacified by the TV

Glued my eyes to the TV

Execution and mind pollution

Live on the TV

[PreChorus]

Fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Verse 2]

Dare to dream, how to get on that silver screen

Lights, cameras, action! Bravo, can't you hear the guns clapping?

Bravo, can't you see the thugs acting macho?

Just like Marlon Brando, just like Al Pacino

Catcher in the Rye, catch the b-roll

[PreChorus]

Fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

What the fuck are you looking at?

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Verse 3]

One, two, three, jump, I'm gone with the wind

Grab some popcorn, please, let's begin

As I serenade a "Song of the South"

They ain't never let a realer **** up in the house

I ain't a toy, they wanna put a **** up in a box

Richard Pryor with the fire, now they're getting me hot

They're looking at me like a joke, what's all the laughing about? I ain't no "Dumbo"

Jim Crow swearing he fly, who gives a fuck though?

Who really cares, though?

Who's the Great and Powerful Oz, and who is the Scarecrow?

Who is the Witch, though? Power of the dollar decline, they gave us crypto

Let the coin flip, head or tails? Go 'head and pick which one they're going in

Where's the love at? Touched by Uncle Sam, you better fuck back

You better bounce that ass, you better drop that ass, you better fuck back

You better move that ass, before they use that ass, you better fuck back

You better shake that ass before they take that ass, you better fuck back

You better grove that ass

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me

[Chorus]

Television, you turn me on

Looking at you all night long

Movie magic up on the screen

I think the television's controlling me
