T.V. War
Accept Lyrics

T.V. war is part of life
The concept of T.V. war is not limited to entertainment, it is an inescapable aspect of life itself.

Entertaining and far, far away
The broadcasts of war are far away from everyday life, and the only purpose they serve is to entertain us.

What a story and how they fight
The depiction of war on television is presented like a compelling story, but it is still just people fighting and dying.

Let's gamble and guess who will win
Rather than focusing on the human cost of war, the audience views it more like a game - placing bets on who will come out victorious.

Danger is nowhere
Despite the peril depicted on screen, the audience can feel safe and detached from reality because they are not actually in danger.

We still got the chance to switch off
Viewers have the power to choose to turn off the television and cease perpetuating the glorification of war through their viewership.

Remote control and the guarantee
The combination of remote control and geography provides a sense of security by ensuring the actual war is happening somewhere else, far from home.

It's somewhere else
We have been desensitized to the true human cost of war, allowing us to view it as a distant conflict that does not directly affect our lives.

We are eating, while we're watching
People watch war from the comfort of their own homes, often while snacking or eating meals, further emphasizing the detachment from the reality of the conflict.

People die on the screen
War is depicted as a drama, and people are portrayed as expendable characters rather than human beings with families and lives.

Toasted and roasted and scrambled and fried
Even the graphic death and suffering of others can be turned into dinner table conversation, emphasizing the sense of detachment and desensitization surrounding war.

We are greedy and pay
Even though T.V. war provides a form of entertainment, we cannot forget that it is funded by the exploitation and pain of others.

Information, in between
Amidst the entertainment value in T.V. war, there are fragments of real information about the state of the conflict and its potential impact on civilians.

Missiles are in the air
While T.V. war may seem distant and unreal, it is important to remember that real people are affected by the violence and the advance warning of missiles only increases the anxiety and fear.

You can hear them and see
Despite the fact that T.V. war is entertainment, it still manages to convey some of the chaos and confusion of actual conflict.

They're already here
The presence of missiles nearing impact make the violence more real and makes the audience realize how quickly things can spiral out of control.

According to informed sources
The media likes to present itself as an objective source of information regarding war despite often being biased and only conveying certain details.

Of the defense ministry:
In times of conflict, public officials often try to present a sense of calm and control, usually by downplaying the severity of the situation.

There is now confirmation
The use of alarmist language is used by the media to emphasize the urgency and drama of a situation.

That enemy missiles have penetrated our airspace
The reality of war finally breaks through the veil of entertainment, and the serious implications of the conflict become tangible.

Impact is estimated in a matter of minutes
The media uses language to amplify the sense of danger and urgency surrounding the conflict, emphasizing just how quickly everything can unravel.

Good evening!
Despite the somber and urgent tone of the news, reporters and anchors often try to maintain a calm, neutral attitude in contrast to the shocking news they are reporting.

Bloodless but deadly and cruel
While T.V. war may not cause physical harm, its glorification of conflict and desensitization to death and destruction perpetuates the cycle of warfare and human suffering.

T.V. war
The repetition of this phrase helps to emphasize the central theme of the song - the glorification of conflict in television and media, and its dangerous effects on society as a whole.
