Generate meaning
1
Who needs lobotomy when we've got the ITV
2
Who needs ECT when there's good old BBC?
3
Switch on the set, light up the screen
4
Fantasise and dream about what you might have been
5
Who needs controlling when they've got the cathode ray
6
They've got your fucking soul, now they'll fuse your brains away
7
Mindless fucking morons sit before the set
8
Being fed the mindless rubbish they deserve to get
9
Can't switch off big brother, they've lost all will to act
10
Lost in drab confusion, was it fiction, was it fact?
11
Another plastic bullet stuns another Irish child
12
But no-one's really bothered, no, the telly keeps them mild
13
They've lost all sense of feeling to the every hungry glow
14
Drained of any substance by the vicious telly blow
15
No longer know what's real or ain't, slowly going blind
16
They stare into the goggle box while the world goes by, behind
17
The Angels are on T.V. tonight, grey puke fucking shit
18
They army occupy Ireland, but the boot will never fit
19
Was it Coronation Street? Or was it Londonderry?
20
Oh it doesn't fucking matter, Paul Daniels'll keep us merry
21
Yes, I've heard of Bobby Sands, wasn't it Emmerdale Farm?
22
Yes, that's right, he was kicked by a cow

I hope it didn't do him no harm
24
And wasn't the Holocaust terrible, good thing it wasn't for real
25
Of course I've heard of H-Block, it's the baccy with man appeal
26
Deeper and deeper and deeper, layer upon layer
27
Illusion, confusion, is there anyone left who can care?
28
Yes, the Abbey National cares for you
29
Nat West, and Securicor
30
Well brings out the Branston bren-guns
31
Let's spice it up some more
32
The Sweeney are cruising Brixton, created another Belfast
33
And J.R.'s advising Thatcher on lighting, make up and cast
34
A thousand camera lenses point at the people's pain
35
As millions of mindless morons watch the action replay again
36
Action replay again
37
Softly, softly, into your life, you're held in it's brilliant glow
38
Softly, softly, feeding itself on the you you'll never know
39
You're life's reduced to nothing, but an empty media game
40
Big Brother ain't watching you mate, you're fucking watching him
