Robert Ellis - TV Song lyrics

rate me

I am not a failure, I played the hand that I was dealt

But every now and then I do pretend that I am someone else

It takes no imagination, just a flick of the remote

Then I am on vacation in a life someone else wrote

Maybe I'm a millionaire, I travel over the world

I'm handsome and respected, I get all those pretty girls

So calm and mysterious, fighting for the greater good

People love and adore me from New York to Hollywood

Well, this may not be the healthiest, I know

But I'm happiest when I exist through my favorite TV shows

I'm a gun fighter, I'm a bull rider

I'm the captain of some pirate ship at sea

For a couple hours I got super powers

Oh my God, I love watching my TV, oh yeah

Oh my God, I love watching my TV

Oh, Betty Draper, I wish my wife was less like you

It gets so hard to take her, she complains the whole day through

And when I get home from working I just hate to hear her speak

But we do spend time together at least three nights a week

We'll watch the one about the family with that great big ole house

Or the one with the detectives who always find the bad guys out

Or the one about the lawyers who make sure that the right guy wins

Or the couple that is still in love and needs never to pretend

Well, no matter what is going on at home

I can always get a smile or two when my favorite show comes on

I'm a gun fighter, I'm a bull rider

I'm the captain of some pirate ship at sea

For a couple hours I got super powers

Oh my God, I love watching my TV, oh yeah

Oh my God, I love watching my TV

God bless you, Walt Disney, you were a father to me

I used to fall asleep with the TV on at night

Through my roughest days you put a smile on my young face

You kept me company when no one else had time

I'm a gun fighter, I'm a bull rider

I'm the captain of some pirate ship at sea

For a couple hours I got super powers

Oh my God, I love watching my TV, oh yeah

Oh my God, I love watching my TV
