Tool - Vicarious

Eye on 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" ...

"She used a poison in his tea,

Then (she) kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story

It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look at me like I am a monster

Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)

Stare like a junkie into the TV

Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,

Watches him die,

Hands to the sky cryin "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?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

Neither the brave nor bold

Nor brightest of stories told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

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 fallin' down

Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior,

Carnivore and voyeur

Stare at the transmittal.

Sing to the death rattle.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best

Your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men.

But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze

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.

Addicted to T.V. by theonashow3

2

This is T.V. addiction, portrayed by Peter. Luckily, i got access to a big screen tv, to have more emphasis to this addiction. I really like the silhouette on this.

Haha, and i love how there is a map of the United States on the wall (symbolizing education/learning ect), but Peter is glued to the T.V.

Number of hours of TV watched annually by Americans: 250 billion

Number of hours per day that TV is on in an average U.S. home: 6 hours, 47 minutes

Hours per year the average American youth spends in school: 900 hours

Hours per year the average American youth watches television: 1500

Number of minutes per week that the average child watches television: 1,680

Percentage of day care centers that use TV during a typical day: 70

Millions of Americans are so hooked on television that they fit the criteria for substance abuse as defined in the official psychiatric manual, according to Rutgers University psychologist and TV-Free America board member Robert Kubey. Heavy TV viewers exhibit five dependency symptoms--two more than necessary to arrive at a clinical diagnosis of substance abuse. These include: 1) using TV as a sedative; 2) indiscriminate viewing; 3) feeling loss of control while viewing; 4) feeling angry with oneself for watching too much; 5) inability to stop watching; and 6) feeling miserable when kept from watching.

Superbowl Sunday Law & Order Mega- Marathon! by lucy tyler

Yesterday, the girls eclipsed their all-time record by watching 21 consecutive hours of Law & Order. They took pee breaks and a brief interlude out in the snow but, otherwise, they remained riveted to the screen. What is it that makes this show so darned addictive to Standard Poodles...or at least to these Standard Poodles?
