Oh, TV stop depressing us
Give us a specimen grin
Everything you say is so disappointing
Give us something
That could be worth wanting
I know what you want
You want something to cheer you up
You want to sit in A.L. big field under the sun
I know what you want
You want to think you´re having fun
As you stare into barrel of a gun
Sometimes it seems life´s so ordinary
Never hitting the mark
We´re missing stitches in this close-knit
Community, they´re tearing all our houses
Down to build a shopping theme park
They know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a big field under the sun
They know what we want we
Want to think we´re having fun
As we stare into the barrel of the gun
The writing´s on the wall
And it´s making my skin crawl
But while Rome burns
They´re fiddling the figures
We warm our hands in the flames
They say it´s luxury
Just stay down on your knees
They toss us a cherry
As they´re eating our cake
Because they know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a field under the sun
They know what we want
We want to think we´re having fun
As we stare into the barrel of a gun
