Danny Elfman - Mike Teavee (demo) lyrics

The most important thing That we've ever learned The most important thing we've learned As far as children are concerned Is never, never let them near The television set Or better still Just don't install the idiotic thing at all (Ahh, ahh, never, never let them Ahh, ahh, never, never let them Ahh, ahh...) (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...) It rots the senses in the head It keeps imagination dead It clogs and clutters up the mind It makes a child so dull and blind (So dull, so dull) He can no longer understand A fairytale, a fairyland (A fairyland, a fairyland) His brain becomes as soft as cheese His thinking powers rust and freeze He cannot think, he only sees (He only sees, he only sees) Regarding little Mike Teavee We very much regret that we (Regret that we) Shall simply have to wait and see (We'll wait and see We'll wait and see We'll wait and see We'll wait and see We'll wait and see...) We very much regret that we Shall simply have to wait and see If we can get him back to size But if we can't... It serves him right
