Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Throw away your television
Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for it's collision now
[Verse 2]
It's a repeat
Of a story told
It's a repeat
And it's gettin' old
[Verse 3]
Throw away your television
Make a break big intermission
Recreate your super vision now
[Verse 4]
It's a repeat
Of a story told
It's a repeat
And it's getting old
[Verse 5]
Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague, for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now
[Verse 6]
Throw away your television
Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
[Verse 7]
It's a repeat
Of a story told
It's a repeat
And it's getting old
[Verse 8]
Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague, for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now
[Verse 9]
Throw away your television
Salivate to repetition
'Leviate this Ill condition now
[Verse 10]
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
