Reality TV

Pictures flash, images sold

No sense, no thought, just behold

Star-spangled messiah struts the tube

Makes life easy just for you

Mr. no lips fights the wips

Liam and Patsy's wedding bliss

Dobbin beats the I.R.A.

(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

Six numbers in, you'll miss the draw

Dream and spend, you watch some more

Evans got the car I need

Escape to virtual reality

A sterling show by the pound

Calvin's stink is well renowned

The weather's dull it's fair to say

(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

Your favourite seat confronts the box

Remote control will help us watch

Technicolour overload keeps me in

Time and time and time again

Just sit there we'll be right back

The sense to move is what you lack

You want to view you'll have to pay

(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

The votin's stopped it seems all Blair

Another day you're anchored there

Midnight again, you've just sat down

Last week's image just popped round

A thousand ways to spend a thought

Am I hip or missed the boat?

Into the net coz that's the way

(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday

The more I watch, the more I stay

Something happened yesterday

I find it hard to break away -- away
