Rat On TV

Liner Notes

Do you ever get a few days off, then totally squander it scrolling? Not this month though, am I right FAWMers?! Anyway, this song is a rage anthem directed at television politicians, and manufactured violence. I went for a #punk #postpunk sound here, tuning the guitars to drop C. Then I went to my friend Darrin's house to play and record his drums.

Lyrics

Eight weeks later
I’m as thick as alligator leather
Eight weeks later
I’m as thick as alligator leather
Though this look on my face is pure disbelief
Quarter back 
attack the sack
I watch TV

I didn’t get it done
On my vacation
I haven’t looked away

See his face every day
The rat on
Rat on TV

Eight weeks down
The town’s shut down
I watch TV
Eight weeks down
The Town The Crown
I watch TV
Though the look on my face
Is pure disbelief
Quarter back
Attack the sack
I watch TV



I didn’t get it done
On my vacation
I haven’t looked away

See his face every day
The rat on
Rat on TV

I will not go for a ride

I just stay inside
My eyes are burning out

I just can’t figure out

Why can’t I just have fun
On my vacation?
I haven’t looked away

See his face every day
A rat on
The rat on
A rat on
The rat on
A rat on
Rat on TV!
