I know what it’s like to be martyred for the cause
I watch television, I’ve seen everything
The cinema says that my life will be alright
I’ll watch the end credits, learn the words and sing
Look in the mirror, got no reflection,
It’s for my own protection
(I’ve got the soundtrack in my head,
And I believe what the cinema says)
The cinema says that my life will be alright
I watch television, I know everything
There’s only one sure thing in my 90 minutes
You make me a mix tape, I’ll be your friend
I’m thinking too much to think positively
Blame joy division or the drum and bass trend
Look in the mirror, got no reflection
It’s for my own protection
I got the soundtrack in my head
And I believe what the cinema says
Yeah, I sleep deeper in my bed
’cos I believe what the cinema says
The miserables, they just pretend
That they believe what the cinema says
And I’m happy ’cos I’ve got a friend
I still believe what the cinema says
