[Verse 1]

I have a TV screen of some 32 inches

TV dinner and an easy chair

From where I view a disaster

And switch the channel fast

And thank my lucky star I wasn't there

The world's in a hurry but I don't have to worry

There's a movie on with a happy end

I've seen it before but I can see it some more

So I don't have to go out and pretend

[Chorus]

No, I don't have to go out

I'll just stay inside - it doesn't bother me

I have all I need because everything is on TV

[Verse 2]

Well, I burned all my books

On my ass I sit and look

And behold the world deteriorate

I don't have to stand up just to take a stand

I'll SMS a live TV debate

[Chorus]

No, I don't have to go out

I'll just stay inside - it keeps me company

I have all I need because everything is on TV

Everything is on TV

[Verse 3]

I can pay to get heard or to get the last word

Wire money to some charity

While I do as I please and bake in my own grease

I better keep my conscience clean

The world's in a hurry but I don't have to worry

I got my virtue and I got my vice

I got bedsores - aching ligaments galore

Now that's a tiny sacrifice

[Chorus]

No, I don't have to go out

I'll just stay inside - it keeps me company

I have all I need because everything is on TV

Everything is on TV

Everything is on TV
