Excuse Seventeen's "Response"

The lyrics that came with the demo tape are:
"i can tune you in i can tune you out.
and no i don't want to watch tv
is this what we've become?"

But those lines are just a portion of the whole song, mixed into it somewhere, somehow, I'm assuming.

The following lyrics are what I hear as I listen to the song; they are almost complete guesses on my part. Both Becca and Carrie sing at the same time A LOT, and they are each singing different lyrics, so it's hard to tell what's going on. If you happen to have any suggestions as to what they are singing on this song, please email me - thanks!

give me box today
have me over
don't worry ??
call my best friends
rock and roll in the meantime
rock and roll is so dead

i really hate violence
my escape mechanism
?? has been turned on
why can't they all?
?? two weeks older
made just to fit in
the box
??
and it would be a shame if i
didn't come and see this one

this is the part where, if involved, we fuck
but, we're more than involved, so i guess we're outta luck

cuz you don't come anyway
(you can't turn me off, i can't make you either)
and no I don't wanna watch tv
(you can't turn me off, i can't make you either)
it worked for me, work for you, work for you, it worked for me
thank god I don't watch tv

this is the part where, if involved, we fuck
but, we're more than involved, so i guess we're outta luck

won't be that again
(you can't turn me off, i can't make you either)
and no i dont wanna watch tv
(i can't turn you off, you can't make me either)
work for me, it worked for you, work for me, it worked for you
