Television - Mikael Erlandsson

I saw the news on my TV today

There was a man who was a king yesterday

He had it all, they had nothing to eat

He didn’t bother about the blood on his feet

I saw this man everybody wanna kill

I felt the anger from his people, I was chilled

They put him down, they were hungry and sad

Had him for dinner, 'cause they were so damn mad

That’s quite a story, but I saw it today

(I saw it today)

But then I switch the channel to get away

I live my life through television

I even love the intermissions

Come on, come on

See the world through the screen, then I’m gone

I met the stars from the movies last week

They said hello, but I just couldn’t speak

I felt so jealous, they glittered like gold

So I turned them grey with my remote control

There was a time, an afternoon

I saw the man walking on the moon

I don’t believe that I’ve travelled so far

But I was there driving in my car

That’s quite a story, but you’ve gotta believe

(Gotta believe)

I switch the channels, then I’m ready to leave

I live my life through television

I have my own imagination

What’s right, what’s wrong

And I know that I won’t be alone

I live my life through television

I even love the intermissions

Come on, come on

See the world through the screen, then I’m gone

And I know that I won’t be alone

I live my life through television

I even love the intermissions

I live my life through television

I have my own imagination

What’s right, what’s wrong

And I know that I won’t be alone

I live my life through television

I even love the intermissions

Come on, come on

See the world through the screen then I’m gone

Television

(I live my life through television)

Intermission

(I even love the intermissions)

Television

(See the world through the screen, then I’m gone)

(I live my life through television)

(I even love the intermissions)

Come on, come on

See the world through the screen, then I’m gone

(I live my life through television)

(I even love the intermissions)

Come on, come on

See the world through the screen, then I’m gone
