[Intro]
Mom, Daddy
Is anybody there?
You know, people think they know everything about us
They think they know who we really are
We're gangsta
A criminal
But how can you say that someone's really bad
When they do everything with a good heart?
A criminal
But all we feel is love
What do you know about love?
What do you know about real love?
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
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 movie 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
"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.
And they laugh and they wave,
Behind the glass they're there to stay
But our script, it don't fit,
You know the bad guy always pays.
Now I'm alone.
There's no one home.
So I turn on my television.
