[Chorus: Bender & Patience]

My generation was raised by a cyclops, with rabbit ears

With frequencies bouncing through the atmosphere

To a luminous cube, and its components and parts

Will have us glued to the tube, until we glow in the dark

That's right, my generation was raised by a cyclops, with rabbit ears

With frequencies bouncing through the atmosphere

To a luminous cube, and its components and parts

Will have us glued to the tube, until we glow in the dark

[Verse 1: Patience & Bender]

Am I watching this television or is it watching me devolve?

I keep control with this remote that I hold in my greedy palms

I learnt my mannerisms, propaganda-driven chained to my seat

Suffered aneurysms and I'm living face to face with defeat

No defense against the schizophrenic time-bandit

I try frantic and live damn it my adversary's gigantic

Capillaries fried and it's the fault of myself

I got cross-eyed friends with cataracts it altered their health

Always created a malaise amazed with lazy education

My baby's wasting baby weight and as we're facing devastation

No reparations could evade or change the damage done

The revolution will be televised, for disadvantage though man

Put your remote hand up if you're fed up with the subliminal

And keep it up if you're a fucking individual

TV killed my attention span so I raise the sword

And face the Lord as I hang myself with the cable cord

Cut

[Chorus: Bender & Patience]

My generation was raised by a cyclops with rabbit ears

And with frequencies bouncing through the atmosphere

To a luminous cube, and its components and parts

Will have us glued to the tube, until we glow in the dark

That's right, my generation was raised by a cyclops, with rabbit ears

With frequencies bouncing through the atmosphere

To a luminous cube, and its components and parts

Will have us glued to the tube, until we glow in the dark

[Verse 2: Bender]

I smashed my TV, why? 'Cause it was laughing at me

With a saccharine sweet cackle that gave me battle fatigue

Just grapple with channel 16, it's been babbling it seems

Before Adam and Eve were reaching snatching apples from trees

Land on my feet flat, at the sand of the beach

And sunk deeper than the fathoms of the Caspian Sea

Though our thoughts were going back now to the chattering screen

With every wave that crashed on shore the sound of static increased

Fingers, snapped to my cheek to bring me back from a dream

But it seemed this was reality I was actually seeing

Evil traps and deceits, networks planted magical beans to have their stocks shoot past the clouds, at its maximum peak

Crowds flock en masse to the screen almost too tranquil to breathe

They catch a glimpse of Avril Lavigne and Pamela Lee

And half of these teens believe all that the camera sees

And can't even read unless it's close caption TV
