KILL YOUR TELEVISION

Kill your television
Thats what he said
Soap freak
Kill your television
I didn't have to
It blew up.

Now I listen to the radio
He said
Kill your radio
Chart freak
Kill your radio
I didn"t have to
Somebody stole it.

Now I read books
He said
What are you reading?
I look up and mumble a name
He smiles
And I start reading again.

I come home from work
A new television sits in the corner
He stares at the screen all day
All week all year.

I shout
Kill your television
Soap freak
Kill your television
Thats what he used to say.
