Telly Songtext
von Addictive Philosophy

Everywhere wannabes plastic celebrities
Telly reality 40p weekly′s
No longer the glossies the tabloids are bosses
The glitz and the glamour the bullshit the tossers
Blinding with magic and makin' their offers
To brothers and mothers and lovers all of us
There′s ways to avoid it but nobody bothers
'Cos that's entertainment no matter who suffers

(Why don′t you) Why don′t you
Turn off your TV set?
(Why don't you) Why don′t you
Wake up, sit up, get up
And do somethin' instead?


I feel like Ivan in the harder they come
What I′ve got is a song, what I need is a gun
But they've got a bomb and they′re turnin' it on
Tune in and cop out all your thinkin' is done
And I feel like The Kid in the film Purple Rain
′Cos I′m sayin' the same things again and again
And again and again and again and again
(Somethin′ better change)
I said somethin' better change

(Why don′t you) Why don't you
Turn off your TV set?
(Why don′t you) Why don't you
Wake up, sit up, get up
And do somethin' instead?

(Why don′t you) Why don′t you
Turn off your TV set?
(Why don't you) Why don′t you
Wake up, sit up, get up
And do somethin' instead?

(Why don′t you) Why don't you
Turn off your TV set?
(Why don′t you) Why don't you
Wake up, sit up, get up
And do somethin' instead?
