Blink wrote this song as a satire on how humans have become such mindless couch potatoes. Americans especially love watching their TV. The first thing many of us do when we get home is watch our TV’s to numb us from a tiring day.
This song got remastered for their first real album, Cheshire Cat.
[Verse 1]
When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home for lunch
So I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch
And when I'm walking through the front door at night
I gotta see who's winning on The Price is Right, oh
[Chorus]
I never dreamed that I'd spend my days
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays
I need my TV
[Verse 2]
What's happening in this world, I don't care at all
But it better not pre-empt Monday Night Football
I can't even come up with my own views
I'm taught how to think from the evening news, oh
[Chorus]
I never dreamed that I'd spend my days
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays
I need my TV
[Outro]
La la la...
