Too much anger trapped inside
It's so hard to let it go
Hope is fading
I'm tired of waiting
And I'm moving much too slow

The stars above I'm cursing
And it still seems I'm rehearsing
But the cameras have been
Rolling all the while
This story's getting boring
And the spectators are snoring
I suggest you turn the dial

Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago

I saw a headline in the paper
Of another ticker taper
For a war which has barely just begun
We'll be waving our flag silly
As we're chopped into piccalilli
And that's not my idea of fun

Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
