We do it to ourselves you know the old man said to me.
We watch the one-eyed monster and believe in what we see.
Poor pathetic creatures with half formed dreams and hopes,
Living life by proxy as we watch our favourite soaps.
We can't go on pretending that what we see is real.
Action packed emotive scripts designed to make us feel...
sadness, anger, hate and greed, despair and violence too.
that somehow deep within us - we start to think it true.
What should be entertainment becomes a guide to life.
Murder, theft, a gay affair, then home to beat the wife.
We're made to think we're missing out if we don't act the same.
Good guys always come in last and never win the game.
To make things entertaining must all that's good be lost?
Just look around with honesty and try and count the cost.
Nothing matters anymore - God is dead you see.
We all know it must be true - we've seen it on TV!
