TV Casualty
(track 02 from the Static Age LP by Misfits
)
There are paint smears on everything I own
The vapor rub is lying on a table of filth
Christmas cards to which I never reply
My eyeballs absorb only blue filtered light
TV casualty
We’re alright!
I wish they’d put Prince Namor on the tube
Hold on, I think I have to puke
There’s a spot in the corner where I always go
I like to feed the flies that I know
Please don’t feed my television screen
TV casualty
We’re alright!
Babies in prison, they call it a womb
Nine month sentence, no parole
Slivers of steel stuck in your lungs
Breathe deep, we need a donor for blood
Jaguars at the cemetery
Cadillacs grazing at your grave
Zeniths grazing at your grave
Sonys grazing at your grave
TV casualty
We’re alright!
Vicarious
(track 01 from the 10,000 Days EP by Tool
)
Eye on the TV because tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used a poison in his tea and kissed him goodbye
That’s my kind of story
It’s no fun until someone dies
Don’t look at me like I am a monster
Frown-out your one face, but with the other stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
“Why, oh why?”
Because I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don’t lie
Why can’t we just admit it?
Why can’t we just admit it?
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold were writers of the stories sold
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why can’t we just admit it?
Blood like rain comes down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle
Credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head out of your hippy haze and give a listen, I shouldn’t have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it’s always been
We all feed on tragedy
It’s like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
Rehumanize Yourself
(track 07 from the Ghost in the Machine LP by The Police
)
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death because he don’t belong
You’ve got to humanize yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He’d like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You’ve got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I work all day at the factory
I’m building a machine that’s not for me
There must be a reason that I can’t see
You’ve got to humanize yourself
Billy’s joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He’s got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You’ve got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I work all day at the factory
I’m building a machine that’s not for me
There must be a reason that I can’t see
You’ve got to humanize yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He’d like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You’ve got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
