Televise Lyrics

I'm not smoking the crack but i know how to get it
I'm not sleeping with her but i know her name
Well honey
If i was in this for the money
I'd get a real job
Well beat upon the brick wall
Until your fist falls
Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise tonight
Tonight...

I've never loaded a gun but i'd know how to shoot it
I've never stolen your words but i've felt your pain
Well honey
If you're in it for the money
Go get a real job
Beat upon the brick wall
Until your fists fall
Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise tonight
Tonight...
Tonight...

Beat upon the brick wall
Until your fists fall
Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise
Beat upon the brick wall
Until your fists fall
Lying in a pool of all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise
What you televise
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise

Beat upon the brick wall
Until your fists fall
Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise 
Beat upon the brick wall
Until your fists fall
Lying in a pool of all your blood and lies
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise
What you televise
Generated freedom based on your greed
But we only know what you televise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Beat upon the brick wall Until your fists fall Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies Generated freedom based on your greed"

kinda sounds like "Beat upon the brick wall Until you'RE FACE FIRST Lying in a pool with all your blood and lies Generated freedom based on your greed"

to me...and it kinda makes more sense too.

i remember seeing these guys play at Youthfest in Dee Why (in Sydney, if you're unfamiliar) about three years ago, and I thought they were brilliant. I saw them around a little bit more, but nothing major. Just local gigs and a 2 X 2 inch article in BLUNT. But THEN! I went to the 30 Seconds to Mars concert at the Hordern Pavillion, and guess who supported them???? I was so proud of them. They did brilliantly =]
