Television Addict

(B-Side to "The Right Time")

Dave Faulkner

I read the news the other day
About a boy they threw away
He went out and shot someone
Like some Kojak teleplay
     
He claimed he was confused
Between fact and fantasy
It seems he spent all of his time
In front of the TV screen
     
[Chorus]
(He was a)     
Television addict
     
The lawyers said this boy is sick
Blamed the ratings for his crime
They said too much sex and too much violence 
On the idiot box spoiled his idiot mind
     
[Chorus]
     
[Chorus]
     
You and me spend all of our time
In front of this window on the world
Just because I watch Dinah Shore
Doesn't mean I need a facelift
Doesn't mean my mind has flipped
Doesn't mean anything
     
(Adlib for a bit)
     
[Chorus]
