i know what it's like to be martyred for the cause

i watch television, i've seen everything

the cinema says that my life will be alright

i'll watch the end credits, learn the words and sing

look in the mirror, got no reflection,

it's for my own protection

(i've got the soundtrack in my head,

and i believe what the cinema says)



the cinema says that my life will be alright

i watch television, i know everything

there's only one sure thing in my 90 minutes

you make me a mix tape, i'll be your friend

i'm thinking too much to think positively

blame joy division or the drum and bass trend

look in the mirror, got no reflection

it's for my own protection



i got the soundtrack in my head

and i believe what the cinema says

yeah, i sleep deeper in my bed

'cos i believe what the cinema says



the miserables, they just pretend

that they believe what the cinema says

and i'm happy 'cos i've got a friend

i still believe what the cinema says
