Lyrics

Sit in front of the idiot's lantern, for hours on end.
Mindless chatter and retarded gameshows, have I gone 'round the bend?
Sit in front of the idiot's lantern, watching dawn of the dead
I make a more convincing zombie, have I gone more brain-dead?

Idiot's lantern, telly burning on and on.
Idiot's lantern, when you gonna turn it off.

Sit in front of the idiot's lantern, we really dig the news
Cuz real life sound byte quick fix tid bits, is how we form our views.
Sit in front of the idiot's lantern, cuz there's nothing to lose
We've given up on indepenent thinking, stay glued to our pews.
