House Plants lyrics

But its shit we dont see it though we watch it on the telly
Every day
We give our heroes license to kill in reality
Just like on tv
And we wish we were in his shoes cos he gets all the girls
Treats them as property
A pile of shit we dont see it, though we watch it on telly
Every day
Thats an electrode in our front rooms a house plant
Pumping in signals
Only five feet from being an implant
Pumping in signals
How often do we leave it switched on?
Channel s.h.1.t.
How often do we sit there switched off?
Staring at it blindly?
Janes dad closed the book
not another peep out of you tonight, he whispered
its not fair, thought jane, whys it always the boys who get to do the exciting things?
