Before that sacred holy flickering tv-screen 
You're served commercials day-time fakes and tv-priests 
You keep your VCR running almost constantly 
Afraid to miss out on something happening on channel three 

You zap from channel one to two look what they have done to you 
You live from staged realities and fakes 
Channel three then four and five you double check your tv-guide 
Re-enacted lives to keep you awake 

Life is served 
Here every taste will find our satisfaction guarantee 
On the never sleeping flickering screen 

You keep watching this truly weird masquarade 
The flickering screen enchants you your truly all enslaved 

Nostalgia sports and comedies, cops cartoons and tragedies 
Remote control at hand you sit enslaved 
Washing powder and apple pies re-runs soaps and Jesus Christ 
Anytime is time to zap the world away 

Life is served... 

We're your tellyvisions 

You zap from channel one to two... 

Nostalgia sports and comedies... 

Life is served...
