I own the tv
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be like

Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son he used to poison


And in his dream
He kissed him goodbye

That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies


Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other

Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie


While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying

Why, oh why?

Cause I need to watch things die

From a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie


Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Were writers the stories told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die

From a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so


Why can't we just admit it?


Blood like rain come down
Drawn by grave and mound


Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur

Still have the transmitter
Sink to the death rattle


La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

Credulous at best

Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out

Your head please
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again


The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive so it is,

So it's always been

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I...

Live while the whole world dies
Much better you, than I
