(Parsons/Bators)

lasers probe the streets curfew set at eight

police with lib glass back search for those out late

jackboots of the right marching in the fear

if it don't affect your life you don't really care

you don't care (we don't care)

firemen on strike watch the young girl burn

food riots start no one ever learns

talkin 'bout a time when they all did

talkin 'bout a world where they all lived

they don't care (we don't care)

it's a little bit frightening

now that no one came

now that no one saw

now that no one's here

television talks everyone believes

the news must be true the telly won't deceive

turn on BBC channel 1 or 2

watching television while it's watching you
