lyrics

How are you coping with this century?
Do you ever feel like you’ve woke up asleep?
Well why not turn the TV on to
channel 557 for some medication
It might improve your mood cos it’s what we do
And yes, yes we’re at the future
and it might not suit ya
But do you need these hits? The constant blitz?
And yes, yes our breaking story
could blow out your worries
And you might wanna try
the world outside again
Imagine if memory number one
was a guaranteed incentive to go on
‘Cos we cancelled your nightmares
out from our screens
And you can buy a new camera
to film your dreams
‘Cos now you’re in the sky
but as the clouds divide
revealing a field where you’ll fall
full of cinema stalls
Those squatted seats are old, it’s true
but their pleading arms are ready to catch you
It’s what they do every time
