Natalia Kills - Television [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Mom, Daddy
Is anybody there?
You know, people think they know everything about us
They think they know who we really are
We’re gangsta
A criminal
But how can you say that someone’s really bad
When they do everything with a good heart?
A criminal
But all we feel is love
(I don't wanna be with you! I don-)
What do you know about love?
What do you know about real love?

[Verse 1]
Hello Mr. Officer
We're just having fun
You can take the handcuffs off
I promise we won't run...
Speed boats and Versace coats
An olive in my glass...
Jail bird scars and gold tooth smiles
They love my rich girl class

[Pre-Chorus]
You took away our money
But you'll never take away our love
And we'll never go to heaven
But who needs to when you live this good?

[Chorus]
Cause men will fight
And girls will lie
Just like on the television
So don't tell us
That this ain't right
It's just like on the television
The silence, the violence
We don't need to be forgiven
Your business, Go mind it
Cause this ain't fucking Jerry Springer
We say our lines, We do the time
We're just like on the television

[Verse 2]
If I paint my sins white
Will it make me pure again?
If I wet my mascara eyes
Will the witness be my friend?
Nicotine and low life dreams
Have never felt so warm
When your father's on the bottle
And your mother's on the floor...
Got the whole town looking through our window
Every day of the week
On the run, fuck the fun
No this isn't like the movies scenes

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
"Bad mistakes and good intentions"
Ain't what they're saying about us in the papers...
Fast forward? No. Can't change the station
If it's 7 years, then 7 years I'm waiting for you...

[Chorus]
Cause where I'm from
It all goes wrong
It's not like on the television
The darkest days
Don't fade away
Can't turn it off like television
They laugh and they wave
Behind the glass they're there to stay...
But our script, it don't fit
You know the bad guy always pays
And I'm alone
There's no one home
So I turn on my television
