TODD RUNDGREN - TV is King lyrics

I wish I was a man with a 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 sound proof booth

I wish I had a chance to stump the band

Or maybe tell the 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'll 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've got your works in a drawer

And your color's on track

You have to brave the way

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 cute ball of gas

And a box full of tin

But you show me your junk

And I want to jump in

Oh if only your chassis

was covered with skin

'Cause TV you're my everything
