Do Not Adjust Your Life

(album: Another Year Of The Same Old Shit - 1984)

[TV changing]

Man found dead in armchair
Sitting next to wife transfixed and knitting

Channel stays unchanged
They dumbly watch, don't make a sound
They're force-fed shit
From breakfast-time
To the closedown

T.V. tells them what to be
And what to say and what to do
How to act and how to lie
But never question
WHY

And they're always
Switched off

Wife says
"Time for winner takes all
I wish we had remote control"
Man can't hear and goes unheard
As she knits through his final words

If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off!
