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



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
