i guess i've always wondered why life can't be more like TV

everything is perfect its the ideal fantasy

there's nothing that lasts longer than a 30-minute conflict

wish everything that sucks could end that quick that quick

that quick yeah

everything on tv always seems to work out so ideally

everything on TV's the way it should be

everything on TV seems to work out so ideally

everything on TV's the way it should be

the way it should be

i wish i had a laugh track to go along

wish i was like TV and had my own theme song

i wish that i could drive nice cars and travel far away

in 30 minutes a day

as i turn on my television set

i watch the screen and i forget

the things that didn't go my way

they all just fade away
