The la Diet Video (MV)

O I recall
A time once
Before all the signal noise
And radio interference

But no that was just a dream
A bad deal that was sold to me
By competing TV streaming
Door to door sales teams

So each day I say my prayers
And pay my credit cards on time
While the LA diet Keeps me
Happily anaesthetised

I medicate what I can't buy
O well whatever nevermind
All while somewhere offscreen
This life is a'happening
O this life it is a'happening

Sign in blood, plug in
Stay thin, stay distracted
From death and taxes
The empire as it collapses

While in some land we've never been
They're dropping bombs all this week
But that ain't our home town
So kill the sound and lets eat

The turbine hum, the feeding line
O well whatever nevermind
All while somewhere offscreen
This life is a'happening
O this life it is a'happening

And somewhere a TV plays
Through the dark of our nights
From the crib to the grave
Somewhere, a TV plays

Well the devil's getting old
He can't keep up in this world
He rents a one room apartment now
In the Hollywood Hotel

From a streetcar he sells
Nudie films and anal gel
Complains he once was an angel
And what a distance he has fell

And I know that its a lesson
But its hard to pay attention
With megaphones and funeral homes
Unfolding in all directions

The devil just sighs and says he tried
O well whatever nevermind
All while somewhere offscreen
This life is a'happening
O this life it is a'happening

And somewhere a TV plays
Through the dark of our nights
From the crib to the grave
Somewhere, always a TV plays
