Story Behind The Song

I spent a summer at my parents home years ago intended to write music. Instead I watched TV and I only wrote this song.

Song Description

Tragically funny. Trapped in TV Hell. Living other peoples lives glued to the TV. B4 reality TV and DVRs.

Lyrics

TV HELL

I have this addiction
I watch too much television
Another wasted day I spent inside
Yes, outside the sun is blinding
But my TV's more enticing
The only thing I read is the TV Guide
Yes I'm trapped in The Twilight Zone
I'm trapped in Jerry Seinfeld's home
And these are the Days of Our Lives

Chorus:
And I suppose
I should change my clothes
And I should shower 'cause I smell
I am trapped in TV Hell

I guess it's just as well

Depression's a big downer
All I do is watch and sit
I'm passionately dispassionate
I only move to eat and shit
And my fingers get a workout
On the remote control
And this habit's quickly
Taking its toll

Chorus

What's that infomercial gonna sell
On MTV is another crap song
I wish I wrote it
Yeah, is that so wrong?
Then I'd be cool
Yes I'd be rich
I'd have a big screen TV
With a satellite dish
I'd have more than MTV 1
I'd have MTV number 2
Disney and Nickelodeon
East Coast and West Coast
And the network cartoon
Animal Planet and so much more
I'd have soft porn
And of course hard core, yeah
I'd have lots and lots of porno
Who needs a girlfriend
When you've got porno
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Instead of 50 channels of nothing
I'd have like 400 channels of nothing
Then I'd be happy

Maybe Oprah will help me
Maybe Judge Judy will find me guilty
Maybe Springer's guests will kick my ass
'Cause it's daytime, primetime, late night
Must see crap TV
Yes it's morning, daytime, primetime, late night
Must see crap TV
And it's killing me
Yes it's killing all creativity
Yes it's killing me
Killing me
Hey, what's on NBC?
