[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't touch that dial, don't click the clicker
We love to watch, they love to bicker
Don't turn the knob or change the channel
Hey, where the hell did they get this panel?
Where are they from? Where have they been?
They air it out, we suck it in, suck it in

[Verse 2]
Up on stage, all in a row
At each other's throats all through the show
The mood is tense, the tension's thicker
We watch, they fight, just who here's sicker?

[Chorus]
We're not so bad, I guess, after all
Their problems make ours seem so small
We'd be much better off, I bet
If we'd turn off the TV set
Turn it off now

[Verse 3]
She broke down and he came clean
We stay glued, glued to the screen
Just how much more can we take?
Thank God, here comes a station break
[Chorus]
We're not so bad, I guess, after all
Their problems make ours seem so small
We'd be much better off, I bet
If we turned off the TV set
Turn it off now

[Outro]
Don't think that we can take much more
We've lost it now, man, that's for sure
Lost another day, check out the clock
Pull the plug, shut it down, turn it off now
We should talk
