Kids were screaming Wife was bitching Just took the keys out of my ignition Why do I always feel like a jerk After a hard day’s work
Might have a couple regrets Right now I’ll take what I can get I want a television set to free my mind Television set, to drown ‘em out Television set, might as well have been blind There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out
Smoke and mirrors Snakes and ladders You climb a few, you slide back down My head is on the pillow My heart is in the basement My mind is in the gutter
Girls roll around in the sand And I got the telephone in my hand Let’s not forget
Television set to free my mind Television set, to drown ‘em out Television set, might as well have been blind There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There’s nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There ain’t nothing better for the down and the out There’s nothing better for the down and the out
