  • Buzzing from watching others' dramatic lives
    As the TV slyly stares at me
    Body piercings like those of
    Ancient Egyptian kinky slave prisoners fly at me

    Placing a thorn upon her head, slashing her wrist
    Rolling around on her cavity
    Being chased by little kids
    Playing miniature toy accordions, her destiny

    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV
    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV

    Fundamentally mental, deprived of meaning
    Heathenistic theatrical entropy
    The gaining of false confidence
    From the failure of others cheering
    No that can't be me

    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV
    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV

    A genetically mysterious horde of specimens
    Sharing their empty lives with me
    Grammatically inept common denominators
    Destroying all of life's mystery

    Body piercings, those of
    Ancient kink Egyptians slave prisoners fly at me
    Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
    Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
    The sexually oblique ritual was just called glee
    Body piercings, those of
    Ancient kink Egyptians slave prisoners fly at me
    Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
    Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
    The sexually oblique ritual was just called glee

    Buzzing from watching others' dramatic lies
    As the TV slyly stares at me

    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV
    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    Reality TV

    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality
    I abhor the whore
    Who calls herself reality Writer/s: Serj Tankian
