[Intro: Flavor Flav]

You're blind, baby

You're blind from the facts on who you are

'Cause you're watching that garbage


[Verse 1: Chuck D]

The woman makes the men all pause

And if you got a woman, she might make you forget yours

There's a five-letter word to describe her character

But her brain's being washed by an actor

And every real man that tries to approach

Come the closer he comes, he gets dissed like a roach


[Refrain: Chuck D]

I don't think I can handle she goes channel to channel

Cold looking for that hero, she watch channel zero


[Chorus]

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

Zero


[Interlude: Flavor Flav]

Yo' baby, you got to cut that garbage off

Yo! I wanna watch the game

What is you doing?

Hey yo, let me tell you a little something

I'mma take all your soaps, and then I'm gonna hang 'em on a rope

You know what I'm saying?

'Cause that garbage you're watching don't make no sense

Hey yo, let me tell you a little something, baby

I'mma take your set, and I'mma throw it out the window, G!


[Verse 2: Chuck D]

2, 7, 5, 4, 8, she watched, she said

All added up to zero, and nothing in her head

She turns and turns and she hopes the soaps

Are for real, she learns that it ain't true, nope

But she won't survive and rather die in a lie

Fall a fool for some dude on a tube


[Refrain: Chuck D]

I don't think I can handle she goes channel to channel

Cold looking for that hero, she watch channel zero


[Chorus]

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

Zero


[Interlude: Flavor Flav]

Yo, baby, you think I'm joking? Do I look like I'm joking?

I ain't joking, word up, baby

Yo, cut that garbage off now

Yo, I got the Tyson fight on, you know what I'm saying?

Yo, so you can't be coming here, staganating like that, you know what I'm saying?

Yo, we getting ready to watch the Super Bowl

We got a black quarterback, so step back!


[Verse 3: Chuck D]

Trouble vision for a sister 'cause I know she don't know, I quote

Her brain's been trained by a twenty-four inch remote

Revolution a solution for all of our children

But her children don't mean as much as the show, I mean

Watch her worship the screen and fiend

For a TV ad, and it just makes me mad


[Refrain: Chuck D]

I don't think I can handle she goes channel to channel

Cold looking for that hero, she watch channel zero


[Chorus]

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch

Zero


[Outro: Flavor Flav]

Yo, baby, can't you see that's nonsense you watching?

Look, don't nobody look like that, nobody even live that, you know what I'm saying?

You watching garbage, nothing but garbage, straight up garbage

Yo, why don't you just back up from the TV, read a book or something?

Read about yourself, learn your culture, you know what I'm saying?

Yo, let me tell you a little something

You're blind, baby

You're blind from the facts on who you are

'Cause you're watching that garbage

You understand what I'm saying? Garbage, nothing but pure garbage

You're blind, baby
