Lyrics

TV Song
Circa 1994
Written by Jason Moon

You got your brand new, big screen TV.
Set up in the living room for every one to see.
Larger than life, or so it seems.
You got “picture in picture” don’t miss nothing in-between.
Now mom and dad, they don’t talk much anymore.
They sit around on the living room floor.
Staring into our brand new TV.

They came today, to take the old 8-track away.
And brought in our new home stereo.
Last time the phone rang, was yesterday.
I wonder if the sun came out today.
Now brother and sister we don’t fight much anymore.
We sit around on the living room floor.
Staring into our brand new TV.

They came today, to install the switch.
On our brand new thirty-two satellite dish.
TV from England, TV from Spain,
I got some much damn TV that it’s driving me insane.
Now our whole family, we don’t talk much anymore.
We sit around on the living room floor.
Staring into our brand new TV.

Cook up some popcorn, turn down the lights.
Cause there’s nothing else to do on a Saturday night.
All the news we need is brought right to our door.
It’s a wonder that we even have to think anymore.
I got no reason why I should go outside.
107 channels where I can run and hide.
Staring into my brand new TV.

Advice I’ve learned, that you can keep.
Sitting in that easy chair makes your mind fall asleep.
Someday you’ll wake up, and wonder why.
Cause you realize a lifetime has passed you by.
All those zombies out there in “TV Land”
Live their life through the controller in their hand.
You go turn of your brand new TV.
