Lyrics:

Don’t want to see your agony
I don’t want to see your pride
Don’t want to see your stupid face
And I don’t want to see your bride
Don’t want to hear your fairytales
And I don’t want to hear your lies
Don’t want to hear your screamin’ voice
And I don’t want to know the prize

Give me instead some company
And give me food for thought
Give me a lonely melody
And give me a sight of God
Tell me tales of yesterday
And let me have a laugh
And when I really want to live
Just turn yourself right off

You spread all your disease around
You spread around the dirt
And when a girl dies in a wreck
You look under her skirt
You say you need to tell the facts
And you say you tell what’s wrong
You scream and shout and make-belief
All day and all night long

Give me instead some company
And give me food for thought
Give me a lonely melody
And give me a sight of God
Tell me tales of yesterday
And let me have a laugh
And when I really want to live
Just turn yourself right off

Don’t want to see the game show host
Don’t want to see a soap
Don’t want to know who won again
And I don’t care about the Pope
And if I may quote someone else
To show I’m not alone:
‘There’s 57 channels out
With nothing going on.’

Give me instead some company
And give me food for thought
Give me a lonely melody
And give me a sight of God
Tell me tales of yesterday
And let me have a laugh
And when I really want to live
Just turn yourself right...
