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
