I own the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be like
And by the husband
Drowned by the ocean 
Shot by his own son 
He used a poison

And in his dream 
He kissed him goodbye 
Thats my kind of story 
It's no fun until someone dies

Don't look at me like
 I am a monster 
Frown out your one face 
But with the other 
Stare like a junkie 
Into the TV 
Stare like a zombie 
While the mother holds her child 
Watches him die Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance 
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies You all needn't choose your own lie

Why can't we just admit? 
Why can't we just admit? 
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing In the grave no more 
The right of the story so 
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same, so...

Why can't we just admit?

Blood like rain fell down ...grave and drown

Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and warrior Still have the transmitter Sink to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie 
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

 Your desire to believe in 
Angels in the hearts of men 
But pull your head on out 
Your hands, take a listen 
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile, so impersonal Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy 
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much like you and I
