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 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
stare like a junkie
into the TV
stare like a zombie
while the mother holds her child
watches him die
hands to the sky
crying, "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?
why can't we just admit it?
we won't give pause until the blood is flowing
neither the brave nor bold
will write us the story, so
we won't give pause until the blood is flowing

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 falling down
drown on grave and ground

part vampire
part warrior
carnivore and voyeur
still have the transmitter
sing to the death rattle

la, la, la, la, la, la, la LIE

credulous, at best
your desire to believe in
angels in the hearts of men
pull your head on out, you hippies
and give a listen
shouldn't have to say it all again

the universe is hostile
so impersonal
devour to survive

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

YES!! There is hope for you yet Laurence. You are officially my hero for two reasons.

1 You posted a Tool link. And lets face it. Maynard IS God. The resemblence to him and christ is astounding lol.

2 You ACTUALLY got the meaning of Vicarious. Half of the people i know that listen to the song either have to have it spelled out for them or don't care enough to know.

By the by, I found a great video that shows the meaning of this kinda like you did. It's off of You Tube and it's freaking cool. All people who are reading this should definitly check it out.
