Lyrics
Is that all you've got, well show me something better
I need more for my intelligence quota
and if that's the best you've got than come back later
Come back and show me something better.
Oh, ahh hah well show me something better
That TV screen doesn't grab my attention
That sex symbol doesn't doesn't garner my affection
And if you 're thinking that I lack concentration
Please don't confuse it with my gross frustration.
Is that all you've got, well show me something better
I need more for my intelligence quota
and if that's the best you've got than come back later
Come back and show me something better.
Oh, ahh hah well show me something better
A million dollar advertising aberation
A sit-com is just a yuppie masterbation
It's time to stop all this sphinckther recreation
Stock, schlock, ordinary sensation
Is that all you've got, well show me something better
I need more for my intelligence quota
and if that's the best you've got than come back later
Come back and show me something better.
Oh, ahh hah well show me something better
Oh, ahh hah well show me something better
Oh, ahh hah well show me something better
