[Verse 1]

Multinational sitcom rating

Inoffensive, self-effacing

The fountain of light infotainment

Will never run dry

Another lunch break, another crisis

The bombs are smarter, the teeth are whiteness

Pay Per View, and we will never lose

When all channels 69

[Pre-Chorus]

And they'll put it right, keep it right

Help you sleep at night, yeah

[Chorus]

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down and get shot of me?

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down?

[Verse 2]

Another stitch up, another suture

Johnny was right when he said "No future"

Put it straight so the dogs relate

With your brain-dead TV skive

[Pre-Chorus]

And they'll put it right, keep it right

Help you sleep at night, yeah

[Chorus]

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down and get shot of me?

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down?

[Verse 3]

Where's the peace? I forgot to mention

Back on your feet, 'cause we die to attention

Put it right or we can just sit tight?

No sentience saved my soul

Another scandal, another sighting

Give us a break and we'll all be fighting

Satisfied that we'll all be fried

But at least we'll not look old

[Pre-Chorus]

And they'll put it right, keep it right

Help you sleep at night, yeah

[Chorus]

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down and get shot of me?

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down?

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down and get shot of me?

Who grew up to be the dead battery?

You wanna run me down?
