In this song, the MC Bat Commander alerts us on how this box known as television can turn us into idiots. After all, there are so many bad shows on TV, right?
…right??
Now now now
I'm just a boy
I watch too much TV
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Casper the Ghost is so friendly
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Sitting in my living room with nothing left to do
I'm going blind Just like Mr. Magoo
I know every single ending
Of every Scooby Doo
Now
[Chorus]
Turn off the idiot box
It's a disease just like the Chicken Pox
Turn off the idiot box
Now
Find yourself a partner
Turn on the TV
And let it control your mind
Friends, Romans, countrymen
I've got something to say
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Get off the couch
Get up get out and play
Nobody knows, Nobody knows
[Chorus]
Children I want to warn 'ya
'Cuz I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is a demon
Turn it off If you are able
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Take a pair of scissors and cut off that cable
Nobody knows, Nobody knows
[Chorus]
