Back in the day I would escape into my TV
It was easy letting two dimensions take over my 3D
See me sitting, staring not a care in the world
Those were the Wonder Years,
Happy Days chilling in my underwear
When I was about 5 I Love(d) Lucy
Tried it again when I was older and everything became groovy
I liked movies but they were too long and descriptive
so when the ADD kicked in I was off in the distance
A little Rugrat who even then was chasing Angry Beavers
Playing like a Ninja Turtle, fighting crime and grubbing pizza
It seems a lot of me was taken from those ages
I nearly broke a finger trying to kick like the Power Rangers
Can’t forget the caped crusader, Batman
I was an avid fan, and fuck it… I still am
I won’t say that TV raised me, my parents played the biggest part
But never had to ask if I was Afraid of the Dark…

Way back when the television was a best friend
Babysitter’s assistant, hope for a happy end
Kept me company because I knew it couldn’t run from me
Taking tips from Bugs Bunny and Doug Funny
Funny how something artificial made me so real
It’s interesting how it’s fake but it makes you feel
and given my career I should be saying this about music
but fuck it, I wrote this one about television

Stayed away from the news because frankly it was depressing
plus I thought that Spiderman would save everything with his webbing
Never letting go of the remote, it gave me power
The yellow sun to my Superman, I spent so many hours
mesmerized by how he could fly and shoot red shit out his eyes
and the fact that he chose to save people’s lives
Hey Arnold got me into jazz and funk
so when it came on them songs I had to bump
I wanted to live Rocko’s Modern Life
The next plan was to be the X-Man that crawled at night
So many TV shows I wish had ran longer
like Kablam!, Ironman, and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
Some I simply didn’t understand
but after every Ren & Stimpy episode I was cheering for Powdered Toast Man
Now you catch me staying up ‘til 2AM
because I still love these shows and that’s the only time they play them

Way back when the television was a best friend
Babysitter’s assistant, hope for a happy end
Kept me company because I knew it couldn’t run from me
Taking tips from Bugs Bunny and Doug Funny
Funny how something artificial made me so real
It’s interesting how it’s fake but it makes you feel
and given my career I should be saying this about music
but fuck it, I wrote this one about television

Captain Planet made me care about the verdicts of a murdered tree
and Scooby Doo taught me it was alright to burn the cheeba
so when I realized that it was a wrap
I was on the couch daily smoking and taking naps
Darkwing Duck, that’s what’s up, right?
not to mention Bartman, The Simpsons, 7:30 weeknights
during dinner with the family we didn’t care because
that shit was hilarious
Transformers, shape-shifting robots designed as tow-trucks
planes, and helicopters
Autobots and Decepticons were my gods and devils
I was a Pisces so I rooted for Blue Barracudas on Legends of the Hidden Temple
but as I grew into my own
I realized that if the TV was my only friend then I was alone
Now I schedule TV around what makes me me
and still I get to watch a fucking lot of television

Way back when the television was a best friend
Babysitter’s assistant, hope for a happy end
Kept me company because I knew it couldn’t run from me
Taking tips from Bugs Bunny and Doug Funny
Funny how something artificial made me so real
It’s interesting how it’s fake but it makes you feel
and given my career I should be saying this about music
but fuck it, I wrote this one about television
