Multinational [bad word] rating,
Inoffensive (self effacing).
The fountain of light infotainment
will [bad word] dry.
Another lunch break, another crisis,
The bombs are smarter, the teeth are whiteness.
Pay Per View, and we will never lose,
when all channels 69.

And they'll put it right, keep it right, help you sleep at night, yeah.

Who grew up to be the dead battery?
You [bad word] me down and get shot of me?
Who grew up to be the dead battery?

Johnny was right when he said "No future."
Put it straight so the dogs relate,
With your brain dead TV skive.

Back on yer feet 'cos we die to attention.
Put it right or we can just sit tight?
No sentience saved my soul.
Another scandal another sighting,
Give us a break and we'll all be fighting,
Satisfied that we'll all be fried,
but at least we'll not look old.

And they'll put it right, keep it right, help you sleep at night, yeah.
