Throw Away Your Television Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Throw away your television
Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for its collision now

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

[Verse 2]
Throw away your television
Make a break, big intermission
Recreate your supervision now

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

[Chorus]
Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

[Post-Chorus]
Oy, oy, oy

[Verse 3]
Throw away your television
Take the noose off your ambition
Re-invent your intuition now

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

[Chorus]
Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Throw away your television
Salivate to repetition
Alleviate this ill condition now

[Outro]
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat

Genius Annotation

This song is an ode from Kiedis to the world about his about drug addiction, and he is telling everyone to throw it away. Replace “television” with “drug addiction”, and you’ll see the message. They wrote television instead of “drug addiction” because they thought it would make the song sound darker, and that was not the style of By The Way.
