It was playing during the Speak & spell tour in 1981 and opened every pefornance of it. them by power chords with improvisation of punk or post-punk style. Intro: You can see them running through me baby You can see the lights in their eyes You can see the masses raising me And I’m preaching them more lies I’m just a mass-form communication I sell what everyone buys You know my appearance is changing Changing for modern times Chorus: I’m just a........television set I’m just a........television set I’m just a........television set Well you can have me in bed if you want me Just plug me into your wall And I’ll give you sex if you want it Or I’ll give you nothing at all You can have me babe for good times You can have me babe for bad Keep me running all of your life and I’ll return your instant demand Chorus: I’m just a television set I’m just a television set I’m just a television set Did you see them running through me baby Did you see the lights in their eyes Did you see the masses raising me Am I preaching them more lies? I’m just a mass form communication I sell what everyone buys You know my appearance is changing Changing for modern times Chorus: I’m just a television set I’m just a television set I’m just a television set

Cette chanson évoque l'idée d'être un simple médium de communication, un miroir de ce que la société désire consommer. Elle aborde la manière dont l'image et les messages que l'on reçoit façonnent notre réalité, tout en questionnant la véracité de ces informations. L'artiste se présente comme un objet technologique, un téléviseur, se laissant brancher pour fournir à son public ce qu'il attend, qu'il s'agisse de plaisir ou de vide. Le contexte de cette œuvre se situe lors de la tournée Speak & Spell en 1981, une période marquée par l'émergence de la culture des médias et du divertissement à la télévision. Les paroles reflètent une critique de cette société contemporaine, où la superficialité et l'immédiateté semblent prévaloir, laissant place à une certaine forme de désillusion.
