Incubus Idiot Box song lyrics

You keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches

You can't make me think like you, mundane

I've got a message for all those who think that

They can etch these words inside my brain

T.V., what do I need?

Tell me who to believe!

What's the use of autonomy

When a button does it all?

So listen up, glisten up closely all

Who've seen the fuckin' eye ache too

It's time to step away from cable train

And when we finally see the subtle light

This quirk in evolution will begin

To let us live and recreate

T.V., what do I need?

Tell me who to believe!

What's the use of autonomy

When a button does it all?

T.V., what should I see?

Tell me who should I be?

Let's do our mom a favor and drop

A new god off a wall

Let me see past the fatuous knocks

I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box!

Let you see past the feathers and flocks

And help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!

From the depths of the sea

To the tops of the trees

To the seat of a lazy boy...

Staring at a silver screen!
