Free T.V.
Human Vacuum's debut single. Free T.V. was written about the shitty performative activists and fake punks in Olympia. The type of people who are only in it for themselves or their image. People who will go to their favorite punk band's 32nd show at Le Voyeur this year, playing the same set for the same people, rather than an organized form of direct action happening that same night. These people are only in it for themselves. All they care about is what they get out of it. Fuck these people.
Lyrics:
I won't die for you
Lie for you
Put it on the line for you
Fight for you
Riot for you
Show up in the night for you
I won't be your friend
I don't care about your problems
Not my job to solve them
Won't risk my comfort
Rewards without effort
It's just a means to an end
E-e-end
But gimme gimme gimme my free T.V.
gimme gimme gimme all that I need
I know that the revolutions for you rights
But I'd rather lay around and watch you fight
As long
(As long)
As I
(As I)
Get my
(Get my)
Free T.V.
I might be punk rock
But now I'm off the clock
The performance stops
And you don't exist
Never try to help you
The patches that I wear
Are words I cannot hear
They hide my lack of action
As I pretend to care
Not here to protect you
Y-o-u
But gimme gimme gimme my free T.V.
gimme gimme gimme all that I need
I know that the revolutions for you rights
But I'd rather lay around and watch you fight
As long
(As long)
As I
(As I)
Get my
(Get my)
Free T.V.
Post to my account
Words I don't amount to
Say it for the record
Not for the affected
I do my part from my bed
Views feed my ego
Don't care if it's evil
Take in the Profit
And then clock out
I don't mean what I said
Sa-ai-aid
But gimme gimme gimme my free T.V.
gimme gimme gimme all that I need
I know that the revolutions for you rights
But I'd rather lay around and watch you fight
As long
(As long)
As I
(As I)
Get my
(Get my)
