TV Song
How many hours of my life did I waste
Watching TV in those good old days
If I had confidence I would
Hang out with a girl from my neighborhood
But I saw saw on TV that the city’s not safe
And nobody speak to strangers these days
So when I said hello all the girls ran away
And I went back home to my video game
How many hours of my life did I waste
Staring at pictures in cyberspace
If I had confidence I would
Love a real girl from my neighborhood
But I saw on the news – 24 dead
And some crazy dude cut off someone’s head
So when I said hello all the petty girls left
And I went back home to my empty bed
I spent my adolescence waiting for a girl to come along
And she did, I’m not complaining, but it took so long,
It took way too long
Now I spend time doing spiritual things
Like awakening the divine within
With Zen Buddhist monks and Hindu priests
Amazon healers and spirits of trees
I spent my youth expanding my mind and freeing my soul
I found a lot of inner peace, happiness and love
I saw everything that I want to see
I’m perfectly happy to simply be
The sky and the tree and the grass at my feet
No special effects could ever compete
I don’t watch much TV these days – I haven’t turned it on for months
I much prefer to look above, watching all the stars
