lyrics

Verse 1:
I can't remember the last time I turned the TV on
Must have been the same time that I last had a CD on
Cuz these days the TV be nothing but fake news
Or reality shows of fake people with fake boobs
Trynna make fools out of the viewers they know are watching
So they choose to show them the content that's most shocking
Cuz they may lose the people's interest with relevant topics
For these snake crews on TV that isn't really an option
So they slave you, make you obey rules that they set out
And soon you can't think for yourself, you need to get out
They claim it's breaking news when they're reporting about sports
But then they're choosing to ignore all the stories about the wars
Sensationalism be distracting from what's important
Leaving the world view of the people so distorted
I look at the television and all I do is scoff
Before I grab the remote and press the button to turn it off

Hook 1:
Yeah, I just turn the TV off
I just turn the TV off
Yeah, you should turn the TV off
You should turn the TV off
Yeah, I just turn the TV off
I just turn the TV off
Yeah, you should turn the TV off
You should turn the TV off

Verse 2:
My dad watches news on the TV every morning
Asking me my opinions on the things they be informing
He surprised when the topic isn't something I heard about
Cuz I don't see the same headlines on my timeline throughout
And I doubt there's many people my age watching the news
Instead I do my own research and form my own views
Don't wanna be addicted cuz you know drama's a drug
So I just turn the TV off and I pull out the plug

Hook 1:
Yeah, I just turn the TV off
I just turn the TV off
Yeah, you should turn the TV off
You should turn the TV off
Yeah, I just turn the TV off
I just turn the TV off
Yeah, you should turn the TV off
You should turn the TV off
