Idiot Box Songtext

von Incubus

Idiot Box
You keep your riches and I'll sew my stiches,
You can't make me think like you,
Mundane I've got a message for
All those who think that they can etch his words inside my brain

T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy when a button does it all

Who've seen the ufckin eye ache too
It's time to step away from cable train
And when we finally see the subtle light,
This quirk in evolution will begin
To let us live and recreate

T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy when a button does it all,
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I be?
Lets do our mom a favor and drop a new god off a wall

Let me see past the fatuous knocks
I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box!
Let you see past the feathers and flocks,
And help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!
From the depths of the sea
To the tops of the trees
To the seat of a lazy boy...
Staring at a silver screen!!

T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy when a button does it all,
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I be?
Lets do our mom a favor and drop a new god off a wall
