Do the Television Songtext
von Jake Shears

All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
All my children, keep up living in love
Do the television

What′s that word worth remembering for?
I saw it written in scratches on a bathroom door
I tried to learn the television, get the accents right
But the voices that I heard made me sleep all night

And the words that we said
We're the ones that had led generations
But you wake up to find that the meaning has gone
And I′m feeling all right to swim in such sweet indecision

All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do thе television
All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do thе television


Calling all women and calling all men
And the people in the middle, stand up and bend
First, you grind your teeth and you spread your legs
It's how the crippled boy boogies and the broke man begs

And the words that we made
Like a picture that's faded in daylight
But you wake up to find
That the language has gone
And I′m feeling all right
This rejection of old tradition

All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television

There are movements, but these are commitments
Are my hands onto my hands when we′re done?
I was dreaming the last time I felt this
There is nothing yet something for everyone

All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television


All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
All my children, can you keep up with us?
Do the television
