[Verse 1]
Is it just me or do people speak
Like they're receiving a script each week?
And when they get in their biggest fights
It's just a trade off of old sound bites
Soap opera dramas are fine, they're cool
But they are not a behaviour school
And if you repeat what you see on screen
You might forget what you really mean
[Chorus]
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
[Verse 2]
I remember when my granny died
I felt ashamed that I hadn't cried
Not like the people did on TV
I thought that something was wrong with me
Soap opera dramas are fine, they're cool
But they are not a behaviour school
And if you repeat what you see on screen
You might forget what you really mean
[Chorus]
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
Television is not your life
Television is not your life (EastEnders is not your life)
Television is not your life (Hollyoaks is not your life)
Television is not your life (Love Island is not your life)
Television is not your life (Made in Chelsea is not your life)
[Outro]
Is not your life
Is not your life
Is not your life
