Azrael - Television Slave

Sitting in the viewing room
Staring at the screen
Watching even though my mind is gone
Living for the final scene
People in a plastic world
Are they what they seem?
Strangers in a stranger land
Dreamers in a dream

I look
I see society
Getting old
Going blind
Going nowhere
You pick your vice
You paid the price
Lost your brain
Gone insane and you don't care

Smile now you're on
Don't look now it's gone
Nothing more remains
Nothing but the chains
Forget what your life is all about
You've lost your way
Television slave

Wasting all your precious time
Wishing they were true
Meeting with them once a week
Loving what they do
Is it just a ritual?
Do ya even care?
Something you can't live without
On and on you stare

The tube goes on
The brain goes off
Fast asleep in a deep hibernation
All hours end it starts again
Different life
Different time
Different station
Smile now you're on
Don't look now it's gone
Nothing more remains
Nothing but the chains
Forget what your life is all about
You've lost your way
Television slave

Armchair heroes all around
Housewife vixens in every town
All a part of the charade
Children raised on violence and sex
Sadism - racism - dying breaths
Tiny monsters being made

Going nowhere - Sitting spineless
Going nowhere - Living lifeless
Going nowhere - melting mindless
Going nowhere?

Smile everyone when your life is done
Nothing will remain - nothing but the chains
Locked up inside of your watchful cell
And there you'll stay television slave
