Songtext Idiot box Incubus

Idiot box

You keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches,
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!
What s the use of autonomy when a button does it all?

So listen up, glisten up closely all,
Who ve seen the fuckin 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!
What s the use of autonomy when a button does it all?
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I'be?
Let s 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!
What s the use of autonomy when a button does it all?
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I'be?
Let's do our mom a favor and drop a new god off a wall
