"Watching Telly" lyrics

"Watching Telly"

(Haaahh!)
Signs are telling me that I'm not right
I'm not worthy
Of the choice to make my own choices for my body

He was 27
I was 21
He liked Ernest Hemingway
I liked watching telly

I needed someone
They told me I'm wrong
God loves his children
But God loves men, Jesus Christ
She's just trying to get by
Through her lover out tonight
He can't seem to get it right
Get it right

Took the long way home from the doctor
Only spoke to a few friends before the surgery
Threw up on my birthday
They take dollar signs to our bodies
Tell us not to show our skin
If its good enough for the boys
Its good enough for us

I needed someone
They told me I'm wrong
God loves his children
But God loves men, Jesus Christ
She's just trying to get by
Through her lover out tonight
He can't seem to get it right
Get it right
(Haaahhaahh)

I needed someone
They told me I'm wrong
God loves his children
But God loves men, Jesus Christ
She's just trying to get by
Through her lover out tonight
He can't seem to get it right
Get it right
Oh God loves men, Jesus Christ
Love this country, love my wife
Were waiting in the chemist line
Cause we can't seem to get it right
Get it right
