The Reunion Show Kill Your Television Lyrics
1.Alligator Love Trap

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

Open letter to the editor, here it comes
I'm sick and tired of this goddamn love crap
I'm sick and tired of this alligator love trap
Hey, October, won't you come and save the day?

You are the one
You are so fresh
You are the one who's dragging me down
You are

Oh, baby, baby, you're breaking my broken heart
And try not to rip my favorite T-shirt
One more thing, can I have this thought that you borrowed from
me
My self esteem, my stability, and my argyle socks

You are the one
You are so fresh
You are the one who's dragging me down
You are

I'm down
Life boat
I'm trapped
Good luck

The one
So fresh
The one who's dragging me down
You are dragging me down

You are the one
You are so fresh
You are the one who's dragging me down
You are dragging me down

You are dragging me down
You are dragging me down
You are dragging me down
You are dragging me down


2.Character Assassination

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

I don't want to die
Till I'm twenty-six
Live in my house
Way up in the hills

You're never, never, never
Going to gain control your life is empty
If you knew what I knew
It's character assassination

Teenage suicide
I'll think, I'll overdose
Cover of rolling stone
4 lines I'm comatose

You're never, never, never
Going to gain control your life is empty
If you knew what I knew
It's character assassination

Assassination across the nation
Assassination across the nation

My wife threw out my record collection
Through them into our Olympic pool
Walked in on my secret love affair
With my thirteen year old whore

She said, 'I don't want to talk
You're just L.A. scum'

I don't want to die
Till I'm twenty-six
Live in my house
Way up in the hills

You're never, never, never
Going to gain control your life is empty
If you knew what I knew
It's character assassination

You're never, never, never
Going to gain control your life is empty
You're never, never, never
Going to gain control your life is empty
If you knew what I knew
It's character assassination


3.Dedication

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

You've heard it all before
You're locking up your door
Apologies are not accepted
And things are the way we left them

When I place these pieces
In front of your weakness
Fall into depression
Your face has no expression

I'm making plans to disappear
I'm making plans to go anywhere
That's not in front of me
It's something you don't see

I'm making plans for everything
Let's include everyone
Well, everyone but me

This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all
This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all

You're fighting your conscience
You're acting self conscious
The pointless the past-tense
The accidental act of self defense

When I place these pieces
In front of your weakness
Fall into depression
Your face has no expression

I'm making plans to disappear
I'm making plans to go anywhere
That's not in front of me
It's something you don't see

I'm making plans for everything
Let's include everyone
Well, everyone but me

This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all
This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all

This goes out to anyone

This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all
This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all

This goes out to anyone who knows
This goes out to anyone who claims to know
Something about nothing at all


4.Star Training

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

She wants to be in magazines
And be beautiful for everyone to see
It's raining in her room again
So she turns off the TV

She wants to be on movie screens
So she practices her lines and her kisses
She's sleeping in a broken car
That she borrowed from her best friend

She knows one day she'll make me proud
And all the world looks at her now
She smiles politely
As she steps out of her dreams and wakes up

Her eyes are open, her dreams are over
The sky is falling, it's broken, it's broken
Training to be a star, training to be a star
You know that you are

He writes books of poetry
Though he hasn't read any since he read E.E.
He's drinking himself to sleep
Pretending that he's boring, not to sound deep

He knows one day, he'll write his book
And all the world will have a look
He smiles politely
As he steps out of his dreams and wakes up

His eyes are open, his dreams are over
The sky is falling, it's broken, it's broken
Training to be a star, training to be a star
You know that you are

Training to be a star, training to be a star

She wants to be in magazines
She wants to act on movie screens
He sees those girls
But they look the other way

To be a star, to be a star
To be a star, to be a star
To be a star, you won't need a star
To be a star, yeah

Training to be a star, training to be a star
You know that you are

To be a star, to be a star
To be a star, to be a star
To be a star, to be a star
To be a star, to be a star


5.Drop It!

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

I feel as nervous as a Christian scientist
One with a severed artery across his wrist
We'll stop the bleeding but it's sure to infect
Who ever thought breaking hearts was such an easy task?

I know I'm no angel
Hey, I have no answers
Hey, let's drop the discussion

I'm not making excuses
Hey, there's nothing to say
Hey, let's drop the discussion
Last time I'll ever fall in love again

Time to step up to the batters plate
I heard the pitcher is going to through a curve
I never meant to hit the ball into your chest
I never meant to let my man steal home

I know I'm no angel
Hey, I have no answers
Hey, let's drop the discussion

I'm not making excuses
Hey, there's nothing to say
Hey, let's drop the discussion
Last time I'll ever fall in love again

I should have never let these lies unfold
I should have never let these lies unfold
I should have never let these lies unfold
I should have never let these lies unfold

I know I'm no angel
Hey, I have no answers
Hey, let's drop the discussion

I'm not making excuses
Hey, there's nothing to say
Hey, let's drop the discussion
Last time I'll ever fall in love again

Hey, I have no answers
Hey, let's drop the discussion
Hey, I have no answers
Hey, let's drop the discussion
Drop it


6.Art of Nothing

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

Staring off, into outer-space stumbling, creating my entity
One that is, not belonging in my Kino sphere
I want to perfect the art of doing nothing
I want to see your paintings come alive
I want to see you smile when I say, I love thee

Can't believe my eyes
As my thought hit the sky
All this nonsense, all this beauty
Has truly come alive

Drive all night, middle of nowhere
Ship-wreckage, left of this page
And on the bottom and in the top
Where are we going, maybe we should

I don't want to write a depressing song
I don't want to hide behind my music
I don't want to see the world through
These tinted yellow glasses

Time keeps eating me
Against that time
If ever that time come
Running, running

Time keeps cutting me
Against that time
If ever that time come
Running, running


7.Television

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

Look at me, I'm on the tele-V
How could this be? It's me on Channel 3
Shiny shoes and shiny hair
My stylist told me what to wear
She said to smile and look real thin

Is anybody watching me?
Will I disappear?
Is anybody holding on me?
Am I wasting my time?

I want it, you need it
Come on, baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no, don't turn the channel off

Knock, knock, that's me on the other side
Put your hand on the screen, that's me you see
I'm trapped behind this glass
I'm trapped right in a box
But that that's me right on the the tele-V

Is anybody watching me?
Will I disappear?
Is anybody holding on me?
Am I wasting my time?

I want it, you need it
Come on, baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no, don't turn the channel off

Turn the channel off
Turn the channel off
Turn the channel off
Oh, no

I want it, you need it
Come on, baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no, don't turn the channel

I want it, you need it
Come on, baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no, don't turn the channel

I want it, you need it
Come on, baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no, don't turn the channel off

Turn the channel off
Turn the channel off
Turn the channel off


8.Stuck On You

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

Oh please, cutie won't you come and meet me
Underneath the elm outside
We'll hug and giggle, maybe our lips will wiggle
Spend the day in sweet delight

My mind is so confused
Stuck on you
I want to sit down with you
Stuck on you

I got this gut feeling
Stuck on you
If I'm the one for you
Then you'll be the one for me

Oh sweetie, honey, I don't have lots of money
To shower you with gifts from Brazil
Oh maybe, baby, you know it drives me crazy
When I'm missing time with you

My mind is so confused
Stuck on you
I want to sit down with you
Stuck on you

I got this gut feeling
Stuck on you
If I'm the one for you
Then you'll be the one for me

My mind is so confused
Stuck on you
I want to sit down with you
Stuck on you

I got this gut feeling
Stuck on you
If I'm the one for you
Then you'll be the one for me


9.New Rock Revolution

Lyricist:Brian K Diaz, Mark Kluepfel, Derrick William Sherman, David
Sullivan Kaplan

Welcome to the revolution, the new rock revolution
I am right and you are wrong
Every dynasty will fall, a great big fall
Let's tear the wall brick by brick by brick
Let's drop a wrench in the system

You taught us how to dream
You taught us how to love
You taught us how to cry
But that don't mean a thing? It's all been done before

Welcome to the revolution, the new rock revolution
It's all been done before
Welcome to the revolution, the new rock revolution
It's the new rock revolution
It's the new rock revolution

We are rebels with no yell
We are idols in our prime of nothingness
Let's do it for the right reasons, except the right ones
Let's do it for a cause

You taught us how to dance
You taught us how to listen
You taught us how to rock
But that don't mean a thing?

There's this girl, she lives in her made world
She says, it's all been done, she says, it's all been done
I just might, lay with her for a while
She says, it's all been done, she says, it's all been
She says, it's all been done for days and years to come
