The kinda person I wanna be Was crystallized in 1993 Staring at her novel on screen The world got bleaker Transfixed upon a culture of men How easy now for me to pretend That I was not infected at all It runs much deeper Saturday evening watching TV Baywatch should do better than that See the irresponsibilities Get lost in the swimsuits A shoreline filled with vacuous words Repeat out every channel I turn Get underneath the waves until you feel nothing What kinda message does that send out? I feel that this is happening again Our children become women and men They tap at an impeccable screen Their will gets weaker A life in which you have to pretend I hope they break before they can bend The tireless self-erosion goes on And on and on and on Saturday evening watching TV Baywatch should do better than that See the irresponsibilities Dissolve in the swimsuits And after that the channels I turn More dubious lessons for me to learn I'm underneath the waves and I feel nothing What kinda message does that send out? Underneath the waves till you'll feel nothing What kinda message does that send out? Covered by the waves till you Feel nothing, get sicker Self-loathing in the bathroom mirror Real people, no fear Send a message, can you get much clearer? Saturday evening watching TV Baywatch should do better than that See the irresponsibilities Dissolve in the swimsuits (whoa) There are no longer channels to turn There are no longer lessons to learn Underneath the waves then you'll feel nothing What kinda message does that send out? Underneath the waves then you'll feel nothing Underneath the waves then you'll feel nothing What kinda message does that send out?
