(Chorus)
television
Oh oh oh, Television
Hides a piece of our civilization
television
Oh oh oh, Television
History's greatest illusion

She sits there alone in front of here TV
Wine bottle stands beside
Takes some valium first to feel safer
Everything will be so much safer

Her daughter is out dancing
Coming home tomorrow night
Her husband went out with the boys
He said: I will probably from work late tonight

(Chorus)

It flickers over theTV
The program is over for today
Perhaps it was just as good
Now she can sleep well, with the help of a sleeping pill

Lying on a cloud feels right
Self- she is the suburbia
Alone with here television
All around there are several thousand all in the same situation

(Chorus)
