| I have a TV screen of some 32 inches
|
| TV dinner and an easy chair
|
| From where I view a disaster
|
| And switch the channel fast
|
| And thank my lucky star I wasn’t there
|
| The world’s in a hurry but I don’t have to worry
|
| There’s a movie on with a happy end
|
| I’ve seen it before but I can see it some more
|
| So I don’t have to go out and pretend
|
| No, I don’t have to go out
|
| I’ll just stay inside — it doesn’t bother me
|
| I have all I need because everything is on TV
|
| Well, I burned all my books
|
| On my ass I sit and look
|
| And behold the world deteriorate
|
| I don’t have to stand up just to take a stand
|
| I’ll SMS a live TV debate
|
| No, I don’t have to go out
|
| I’ll just stay inside — it keeps me company
|
| I have all I need because everything is on TV
|
| Everything is on TV
|
| I can pay to get heard or to get the last word
|
| Wire money to some charity
|
| While I do as I please and bake in my own grease
|
| I better keep my conscience clean
|
| The world’s in a hurry but I don’t have to worry
|
| I got my virtue and I got my vice
|
| I got bedsores — aching ligaments galore
|
| Now that’s a tiny sacrifice
|
| No, I don’t have to go out
|
| I’ll just stay inside — it keeps me company
|
| I have all I need because everything is on TV
|
| Everything is on TV
|
| Everything is on TV |
