Television Is My Friend
Well I've got to go to work tomorrow morning
So I guess I'll have to go to bed early
I've got to work on a Saturday night
And my friends they're going to have a party
Well I'm not in school so I had to go find work
My job drains me so much that I can't think
Now all I do is work and watch TV
We're a pair: TV and me
Oh, reruns
Who cares
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you mad
But I guess I've given up on religion
When I was in school it was so easy
Whenever I wanted I could stay out all night
I could crawl to class and slide by with B's
With no more work than I wanted to find
Now my boss he won't ever leave me alone
I work and curse until finally I can go home
Too tired to sleep I turn on the TV
We're a pair: TV and me
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you sad
But I guess I've given up on religion
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you sad
But I guess I've given up on religion
Oh, take me back, take me back, take me back to school
Television is my opium
I guess I've given up on religion
Won't you come and watch TV with me
It don't matter that much to me
It don't matter that much, TV
It don't matter that much, TV
So I guess I'll have to go to bed early
I've got to work on a Saturday night
And my friends they're going to have a party
Well I'm not in school so I had to go find work
My job drains me so much that I can't think
Now all I do is work and watch TV
We're a pair: TV and me
Oh, reruns
Who cares
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you mad
But I guess I've given up on religion
When I was in school it was so easy
Whenever I wanted I could stay out all night
I could crawl to class and slide by with B's
With no more work than I wanted to find
Now my boss he won't ever leave me alone
I work and curse until finally I can go home
Too tired to sleep I turn on the TV
We're a pair: TV and me
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you sad
But I guess I've given up on religion
Television is my friend
Television is my opium
Sorry dad if this makes you sad
But I guess I've given up on religion
Oh, take me back, take me back, take me back to school
Television is my opium
I guess I've given up on religion
Won't you come and watch TV with me
It don't matter that much to me
It don't matter that much, TV
It don't matter that much, TV
