TV is King — текст песни (The Tubes)

(Rundgren/Spooner/Steen/Prince/Welnick/Cotten/Anderson/Waybill/Styles)

I wish I was the man with the mechanical heart
I`d conquer all my enemies alone
I`d tear the guys apart
then scatter the pieces

I wish I was the man in the soundproof booth
I wish I had a chance to stump the band
or maybe tell truth
and maybe I could win a color television

I really love my--television
I love to sit by--television
Can`t live without my--television

TV is king
You`re my everything

I wish I had the girl with the bouncy hair
We`d ride off in a brand new car
or fly a plane somewhere
like probably Jamaica

I brush my teeth, shampoo my hair, and shave my face
Apply the necessary aerosol
in the appropriate place
And we`ll spend the night together watching television

I can`t turn off my--television
Don`t really know why--television
I understand my--television

You got your works in a drawer and your color`s on track
You have to break away but you always come back
You make a hundred changes but you`re always the same
You make me so excited and you make me so lame
You`re just a tube full of gas and a box full of tin
But you show me your charms and I want to jump in
Oh if only your chassis was covered with skin
`Cause TV you`re my everything

I really love my--television
I love to sit by--television
Can`t live without my--television
I can`t turn off my--television
Don`t really know why--television
I understand my--television
I really love my--television

TV is king
You`re my everything
TV is king
