Television (Explicit)

Hello Mr Officer

We're just having fun

You can take the handcuffs off

I promise we won't run

Speed boats and Versace coats

An olive in my glass

Jail bird scars and gold tooth smiles

They love my rich girl class

You took away our money

But you'll never take away our love

And we'll never go to heaven

But who needs to when you live this good

'Cause men will fight

And girls will lie

Just like on the television

So don't tell us

That this ain't right

It's just like on the television

The silence

The violence

We don't need to be forgiven

Your business

Go mind it

Cause this ain't f**king Jerry Springer

We say our lines

We do the time

We're just like on the television

If I paint my sins white

Will it make me pure again

If I wet my mascara eyes

Will the witness be my friend

Nicotine and low life dreams

Have never felt so warm

When your father's on the bottle

And your mother's on the floor

Got the whole town looking through our window

Every day of the week

On the run f**k the fun

No this isn't like the movies scenes

'Cause men will fight

And girls will lie

Just like on the television

So don't tell us

That this ain't right

It's just like on the television

The silence

The violence

We don't need to be forgiven

Your business

Go mind it

Cause this ain't f**king Jerry Springer

We say our lines

We do the time

We're just like on the television

"Bad mistakes and good intentions"

Ain't what they're saying about us in the papers

Fast forward No Can't change the station

If it's 7 years then 7 years I'm waiting for you

Where I'm from

It all goes wrong

It's not like on the television

The darkest days

Don't fade away

Can't turn it off like television-

They laugh and they wave

Behind the glass they're there to stay

But our script it don't fit

You know bad guy always pays

Now I'm alone

There's no one home

So I turn on my television
