[Intro]

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television

All my children, keep up living in love

Do the television


[Verse 1]

What's that word worth remembering for?

I saw it written in scratches on a bathroom door

I tried to learn the television, get the accents right

But the voices in my head made me sleep all night


[Pre-Chorus]

And the words that we said

Were the ones that had led generations

But you wake up to find that the meaning has gone

And I'm feeling alright to swim in such sweet indecision


[Chorus]

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do thе television

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do thе television


[Verse 2]

Calling all women and calling all men

And the people in the middle stand up and bend

First you grind your teeth and you spread your legs

It's how the crippled boy boogies and the broke man begs


[Pre-Chorus]

And the words that we made

Like a picture that's faded in daylight

But you wake up to find

That the language has gone

And I'm feeling alright

This rejection of old tradition


[Chorus]

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television


[Bridge]

There are movements, but these are commitments

Are my hands onto my hands when we're done?

I was dreaming the last time I felt this

There is nothing yet something for everyone


[Outro]

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television

All my children (Can you keep up with us?)

Do the television

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television

All my children, can you keep up with us?

Do the television
