Television Lyrics - Trouble - Natalia Kills

Hello Mr. Officer 

We're just having fun 

You can take the handcuffs off 

I promise we won't run 

Speed boats and Versace coats 

An olive in my glass 

Jail bird scars and gold tooth smiles 

They love my rich girl class 

You took away our money 

But you'll never take away our love 

And we'll never go to heaven 

But who needs to when you live this good? 

'Cause men will fight 

And girls will lie 

Just like on the television 

So don't tell us 

That this ain't right 

It's just like on the television 

The silence 

The violence 

We don't need to be forgiven 

Your business 

Go mind it 

Cause this ain't fucking Jerry Springer 

We say our lines 

We do the time 

We're just like on the television 

Television 

If I paint my sins white 

Will it make me pure again? 

If I wet my mascara eyes 

Will the witness be my friend? 

Nicotine and low life dreams 

Have never felt so warm 

When your father's on the bottle 

And your mother's on the floor 

Got the whole town looking through our window 

Every day of the week 

On the run, fuck the fun 

No this isn't like the movies scenes 

'Cause men will fight 

And girls will lie 

Just like on the television 

So don't tell us 

That this ain't right 

It's just like on the television 

The silence 

The violence 

We don't need to be forgiven 

Your business 

Go mind it 

Cause this ain't fucking Jerry Springer 

We say our lines 

We do the time 

We're just like on the television 

Television 

"Bad mistakes and good intentions" 

Ain't what they're saying about us in the papers 

Fast forward? No, can't change the station 

If it's 7 years, then 7 years I'm waiting for you 

Where I'm from 

It all goes wrong 

It's not like on the television 

The darkest days 

Don't fade away 

Can't turn it off like television 

They laugh and they wave 

Behind the glass they're there to stay 

But our script, it don't fit 

You know bad guy always pays 

Now I'm alone 

There's no one home 

So I turn on my television
