Doin' As I See On My TV
Poison · Crack a Smile...and More! [2000]
When I was a child staring at the tube
I saw sex, violence and death on the news
One day I saw the duke kill someone
Daddy said don't worry boy, they're just acting son
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Like them actors I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
Can I get on the news if I kill my wife?
Would you respect me more if I took my life?
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbors and I got on cops
All I want's a millions bucks from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me
I could shoot and rape and kill
And buy me a house in beverly hills, please?
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
I'd even do a porno flick, like all them hollywood chicks
I'm doin' it as I see on my tv
Took my girl to rent a porno movie
I thought that it'd be kinda groovy
I thought that'd this impress my lover
And there she was right on the cover!
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
I'm a man I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
Hell I'd even do a porno flick, like my hero rocky did
Doin' as I see on my tv
Whistling, gargling
(Spoken:) I am not aware!
I saw sex, violence and death on the news

Doin' As I See On My TV
