Hangnail Band Sings About T.V.

“The Sleeping Giant”
From the album Transparent

Picture-perfect ending should come as no surprise
We’ve watched the same bland story for all our lives
Flipping through the channels is such a waste of time
We hurry to the movies to get in line
And when the glowing glory is gone we make our way
Back to the real world
We try to clear the smoke from our eyes

No, we can’t live without it on
We can’t live without it, we can’t live without it
It’s hard to see the damage done
We can’t live without it, we can’t live without it, can we?

It’s hard to see the meaning, the sense the T.V. brings
Even when it’s sex that sells us everything
If there is one thing learned from this mock reality
It’s give me, serve me first, a selfish vain philosophy

No, we can’t live without it on
We can’t live without it, we can’t live without it
It’s hard to see the damage done
We can’t live without it, we can’t live without it
Just know life is broken in Hollywood
Life is broken, life is broken
Life is broken in Hollywood
Life is broken, life is broken

Life is broken in Hollywood
Take your chance, you take your chance
Life is broken in Hollywood
You take your chance, you take your chance
