From the album Buy One, Get One Free by Jeremy Gratton

fear is on channel 3
watch us all bleed and breed
and sink into our holes

hate is on channel 5
watch violence destroy lives
and melt inside our souls

lies are on channel 9
watch the sadness in the eyes
and hide inside our homes

death is on channel 12
watch us all burn in hell
and greed will take its toll

call me what you wish or will
i dislike paying part of the bill
that helps put an end to life

it’s not that i have no hope for us
it’s just i no longer see the cause
it’s time you critics get that right

the fight is not overseas,
in the desert, or airways
it’s right here in this country

terror was a bullet
but the man has the gun, and now…
look at what he’s chosen
look at what he’s done

call me what you wish or will
i dislike paying part of the bill
that helps put an end to life

it’s not that i have no hope for us
i just no longer see the cause
and it’s time to bring our troops back home

war is on channel 4
someone ought to reach on over
and turn off the goddamn tv
