David Byrne & St. Vincent - I Should Watch TV lyrics

I used to think that I should watch TV I used to think that it was good for me Wanted to know what folks were thinking To understand the land I live in And I would lose myself And it would set me free This is the place where common people go A global franchise, one department store Yes, there were many awkward moments I had to do some self-atonement Well, if I opened up Well, it would set me free I know, I like Behold and love this giant Big soul, big lips That's me and I am this Everybody is a touched up hairdo Everybody's in the pa**ing lane Had a reason that she touched all channels The weird things that live in there I took a walk down to the park today I wrote a song called, 'Just Like You and Me' I heard the jokes from the sports reporter The rival teams when they faced each other The more I lost myself, the more it set me free How am I not your brother? How are you not like me? Everybody's in the hotel lobby I'm living in here, yes, I am I feel it moving in my arms and fingers Touch me and feel happy It's good to lose and it's good to win sometimes It's good to die and it's good be alive Maybe someday we can stand together Not afraid of what our eyes might see Maybe someday understand them better The weird things inside of me
