This song is about how people in the west waste their time by watching dumb TV shows or surfing internet, even though they have a lot to do.
There are so many hours in the day
I know I've got work to do but hey
My will to move, or even use my brain
Is weathered by the eternal English rain
And when the talk show ends, I scream
Right at the screen for more pregnant teens
I can't fall asleep it's almost three
So I water the flowers out on the street
And I spent five hours on the net last night
Avoiding the monsters under my bed with square eyes
How fan-fucking-tabulous it is
To be so scared of the dark like this
I know I've got work to do, it's a bitch
I'm staggering round, I can't find the switch
And I spent five hours on the net last night
Avoiding the monsters under the bed with square eyes
Now I dare not stick my feet out the end
In case they bite and sing a monster song
La-da-dup-ba-da-bow-ah
There are so many hours in the day
To address this problem in some way
Some barbie doll talks of carb intake
I turn it off, and for now, I'm ok
