Reality TV

Laying low kicking back
Got my beer, my TV, time to chillax
50 channels, but nothing's really on
I surf up, I surf down, and on and on
What's this, some creepy dude
Talking trash about his buddies, someone's always gotta lose
I try to change the channel but my actions are denied
I can't push the button, I'm hypnotized

Who's this guy?
I can't recall his name
He was someone in the 80's
Had his troubles all the same
What am I watching?
I don't even know
It's some train-wreck reality TV show

Wait, who's this on the screen
from way back, some teen queen
Where's she been, no one really knows
But the years have not been kind, the bloom is off this rose
What's she saying, she's crying like a baby
He did this, she did that, everybody made me
I'm sympathetic, I feel her pain
Yeah right I laugh my ass off again

Who's this girl?
I can't recall her name
She made a bunch of movies
Spent it all on cocaine
What am I watching?
I don't even know
It's some train-wreck reality TV show

Reality teevee
Don't believe everything you see
Drama queen play that scene
Please

Hey what about me
I'm an interesting guy, I could be on TV
What do they have, that I haven't got?
I play guitar, I can cook, and I've got a dog
But wait, there's more, my story's not complete
I can do something worthy and end up on TV
I reveal my dark empty soul
I'm watching you, you're watching me, and round and round we go

Who am I?
I can't recall my name
I signed a bunch of contracts
They all looked the same
What am I watching?
I don't even know
It's some train-wreck reality TV show

Reality teevee
Don't believe everything you see
Drama queen play that scene
Reality is not for me
