Television Video (MV)

Television

Back when i was young enough to know from where i came
I saw my love be spat upon and shouted down in shame
Well i hung my head and shed a tear when i went to change my name
But his honor told me dontcha fear cause it always ends the same

It always ends the same he said, always ends the same
Oh remember dear this too shall pass and it always ends the same

Well i was feelin so alone when the congregation sang
Of jesus christ and lucifer and the price that i would pay
But the preacher told me not to fear, for they know not what they say
Yeah the history is on your side and it always ends the same

Now the fishes on the TV fly in circles all the same
Like little children terrified by what they can't explain
But when the suburb and the sky are both awash in flame
Oh the television won't survive and it always ends the same

And when i'm finally old enough to learn to play the game
All the dinosaurs will roam the earth and resume their bloody reign
But when i hear their victory song I will hum the old refrain
No lie can live forever on and it always ends the same
