Television Set

Kid were screamin’, wife was bitchin’
Just took the keys out of my ignition
Why’d 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 need a television set to free my mind
Television set to drown ‘em out
Television set, might as well have been blind
There ain’t nothin’ better for the down and the out
There ain’t nothin’ 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 in the basement
My mind is in the gutter
Girls roll around in the sand
And I got the telephone in my hand
Let us not forget the television set
