About the song
I wrote this initially because I entered a contest calling for a parody of a post-2000 song that had to be about television. As I got into it, the song slowly turned out to be one of my best written parodies, and I got to learn how to sing like a rock artist.
Lyrics
I'll procrastinate
and entice my every
fantasy that I've devised
Of why I keep Obsessing.
And I feel like a fool
for Decisions that I make
and how My Life I Can't Retake
While all my clothes are busting.

Why do I adore
Celebrity tidbits.
I've been squinting in the dark
Sitting on my sphincter.
I'm in an uproar
Think this game's been tainted!
Now they're brawling in the park
I won't even bother

Surreal Life is on
Hogan knows Best follows
Fear Factor had hurt my eyes
Let me notate, it's classless
Will reality ever depart my tele?
Still endeavor every week the Next Top Model's story?

Why do I endure.
I can't comprehend it.
I've been watching them embark
Every race gets crueler.
My doctor's unsure
Why my health's descending?
I've been watching after work
Can't afford to sleep no more

(Instrumental)
So I watch each new show
(Instrumental)

How much uglier will Betty grow?
Will lunch linger till a commercial?

Cause I'm staring and
I just don't see why I'm glued to thee.
It's just T.V.

What's so great outdoors.
I'm sure broadband has it.
I've been searching the network
Working on my Posture.
I'm a cable whore
My weight's become morbid
I've been squinting in the dark
Sitting on my sphincter
