Televised Suicide lyrics

"In keeping with the WXTL's practice of presenting the most immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts news, TV-40 presents what is believed to be a television first. In living colour, exclusive coverage of an attempted suicide."

Rehearsing in the mirror
I need it to look right
When showtime comes, you mark my words
This will be my night

I’ve planned my death to be broadcast to thousands

You all will watch me die

Right before your eyes
Mentally traumatised
Blood and guts certified
Are you satisfied?
Huh? huh?
Is everybody satisfied?

I always dreamed I'd be on TV
The thrill of people watching me
I've waited for this moment my whole life
And now’s my time to shine

The way they've done my makeup
The way they've done my hair
It couldn't be more perfect
I'm ready for the air
The moment's almost here
I've got my Glock prepared
I place it to my temple
And smile in my chair

Oh yeah

Down the lens I stare
Tonight the premiere
I hope you're tuning in to
The end of my career

They told me "if it bleeds, it leads"
And I’m about to make history
In living colour, a TV first
This is my final script

I always dreamed I’d be on TV
The thrill of people watching me
I've waited for this moment my whole life
And now’s my time to shine

Lights, camera, action

Decorated set
With pieces of my head
Thank you all for watching
A night you won't forget
