Live On T.V.(You Can Watch Them Die)

Freedom of Speech!

News can't lie,

as one must see

all the truth on T.V.



Some hotel burning,

airliner crash...

or another Vietnam,

to entertain you all...



Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.



Six o'clock news,

sandwich and a beer!

Bright living colors,

I'm not hungry no more!



Some hot shot racing driver...

right against the wall.

The President's speech cut,

a bullet across his head.



Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.



You can watch them die...

Live on TV.

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.



And maybe one day,

within sports and forcast,

I can taste the pleasure

of watching my head burn.



Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV,

You can watch them die...

Live on TV.

Live On T.V.(You Can Watch Them Die)

The Box delivers a hauntingly atmospheric track that blends post-punk tension with electronic textures, characteristic of their early work. The song explores themes of media saturation and the desensitization of audiences to violence, using a driving rhythm and moody instrumentation to create an unsettling soundscape. As part of their discography, the recording stands as a key example of the band's ability to merge raw emotional intensity with a cold, observational perspective. Its enduring presence in their catalog highlights their commitment to crafting music that provokes thought while maintaining a distinct sonic identity within the alternative genre.
