Television Promises

(앨범: Modern Day - 2023)

Late night viewing shadows on my face
I try to go to sleep, but I couldn't look away
Change the channel 'cause I couldn't wait
To watch another human put a robot out in space
Well, we all wanna be reality stars
But wouldn't it be nice to just drive a second hand car?
Well, jealousy's such an evil game
If nobody was different then we'd all just look the same

I'm the king of wishful thinking
But I'm hit with indecision
Every time I turn the TV on these days
But I don't know if I'm wishing
It would stop or if I'm missing
All the things that I can see on the display

We don't want your television promises
You'll know this generation follows it
But I need a sigh of relief
For the tongue and cheek
In your television promises

And now it's morning, in the same old state
A message on the box asking if I'm still awake
But I've been yawning, I should leave this place
The static screen is calling to indoctrinate me
I only hope that I can make that change
And maybe even get up off my ass for just one day
But then I switch the TV on again
I'm watching bake a fucking cake

I'm the king of wishful thinking
But I'm hit with indecision
Every time I turn the TV on these days
But I don't know if I'm wishing
It would stop or if I'm missing
All the things that I can see on the display

We don't want your television promises
You'll know this generation follows it
I need a sigh of relief
For the tongue and cheek
In your television promises

Television promises

Oh no
Sitting in the dark watching them
Oh, my fucking phone
Scrolling through the media, tryna get a little bit

We don't want your television promises
You'll know this generation follows it
I need a sigh of relief
For the tongue and cheek
In your television promises

T-t-t-television promises
Television promises
Television promises
Television
