HW: Right To Decide lyrics

[Michael Blackman]

>From memory I think it is thus:

Im a digital citizen safe in my room
I've got my video to relieve the gloom
minds on a circuit with the news on the screen
lifes a no go area and its so obscene

when you cant do this you cant do that
you cant go forward and you cant go back

Im a modern person im a tv fan
but theres so many things that I dont understand
why do you want to steal when on tv its not real its a viewing game

repeat chorus

been singing it at rehearsals lately ;-)
