Japanese T.V.
This boy's gonna carry the weight
Of a hundred million geriatrics
Who bottled up my fate
Electing retired actors
And I've been noticing of late
That I've been paying all their taxes
They traded chalk board and the slate
For billion dollar battle axes
I can't listen to their lies anymore
It's not a choice among the wise anymore
I don't know who to despise anymore
So I'll watch T.V.
Yeah I'll watch T.V.
And dream of being Japanese
I'll watch my Japanese T.V. screen
Carol and Alice watched
As Greg pushed Bobby's button
Tiger and Fluffy watched
Cindy like a leg of mutton
And I'd just sit and watch
Yeah my childhood was really somethin'
And now I sit and watch
And I will bring home almost nothing
I can't listen to their lies anymore
It's not a choice among the wise anymore
I don't know who to despise anymore
So I'll watch T.V.
Yeah I'll watch T.V.
And dream of being Japanese
I'll watch my Japanese T.V. screen
I want you to understand
All our footprints are upon the sand
Of this desert that used to be a land
Made for you and me (that's what they said on T.V.)
Made for you and me (that's what they said on T.V.)
Made for you and me (that's what they said on T.V.)
That's what they said on T.V.
I can't listen to their lies anymore
It's not a choice among the wise anymore
I don't know who to despise anymore
So I'll watch T.V.
Yeah I'll watch T.V.
And dream of being Japanese
I'll watch my Japanese T.V. screen
Of a hundred million geriatrics
Who bottled up my fate
Electing retired actors
And I've been noticing of late
That I've been paying all their taxes
They traded chalk board and the slate
For billion dollar battle axes
I can't listen to their lies anymore
It's not a choice among the wise anymore
I don't know who to despise anymore
So I'll watch T.V.
Yeah I'll watch T.V.
And dream of being Japanese
I'll watch my Japanese T.V. screen

That's what they said on T.V.
I can't listen to their lies anymore
It's not a choice among the wise anymore
I don't know who to despise anymore
So I'll watch T.V.
Yeah I'll watch T.V.
And dream of being Japanese
I'll watch my Japanese T.V. screen
