Television, the curse of the nation,
Feeding ignorance from channel to channel, from station to station.
Television, the curse of the nation,
We are glued to the screen with zest and admiration.
Shallow programmes with useless information
Giving you no grounds for thinking and creation.
Television that hasn’t taught you anything yet.
Thousands of kids without any knowledge of their alphabet.
Television, the curse of the nation,
No answers to questions and strange explanations
Giving you no ideas and no inspiration.
A lot of violence to see on the screen
And people becoming cruel and mean…
Then why generation after generation
Do we watch television with zest and fascination?

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
