Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents ostensibly unscripted real-life situations, and often features an otherwise unknown cast of individuals who are typically not professional actors, although in some shows celebrities may participate. It differs from documentary television in that the focus tends to be on drama, personal conflict, and entertainment rather than educating viewers. Reality TV programs also often bring participants into situations and environments that they would otherwise never be a part of. The genre has various standard tropes, including "confessionals" used by cast members to express their thoughts, which often double as the shows' narration and competitive elements. Reality TV shows often have a host who asks questions to the participants or comments on the participants. In competition-based reality shows, a notable subset, there are other common elements such as one participant being eliminated per episode, a panel of judges, and the concept of "immunity from elimination."
Pictures flash, images sold
No sense, no thought, just behold
Star-spangled messiah struts the tube
Makes life easy just for you
Mr. no lips fights the wips
Liam and Patsy's wedding bliss
Dobbin beats the I.R.A.
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
Six numbers in, you'll miss the draw
Dream and spend, you watch some more
Evans got the car I need
Escape to virtual reality
A sterling show by the pound
Calvin's stink is well renowned
The weather's dull it's fair to say
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
Your favourite seat confronts the box
Remote control will help us watch
Technicolour overload keeps me in
Time and time and time again
Just sit there we'll be right back
The sense to move is what you lack
You want to view you'll have to pay
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
The votin's stopped it seems all Blair
Another day you're anchored there
Midnight again, you've just sat down
Last week's image just popped round
A thousand ways to spend a thought
Am I hip or missed the boat?
Into the net coz that's the way
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
