Story behind the song
Bill had a guitar part and asked John to write some lyrics about TV. Bill used to have a 'Kill Your Television' sticker on his truck. His contribution to the lyrics relect that opinion.
Lyrics
TV ON THE FRITZ I got nothing to do with nothing on the tube you see it's taken away my brain But thats OK cuz I could never forget all the brands that'll ease my pain I got a fridge stocked full of the king of beers I got peanuts and that ain't all If I get lonely, want to talk to some chick there's a 900 number that I can call And there's a bitch ON TV Just giving me fits ON TV And it just won't quit MY TV Man it's on the Fritz MY TV I got carpel tunnel from my remote control and my butt's so big I can't lift it I call collect I eat a lot of fast food and I act like Homer J Simpson I'm a human shell and it's a well from hell it took the color right out of my soul And it'll never subside or be satisfied till its taken total control Of every bit MY TV It just won't quit MY TV Yeah and don't I wish MY TV Aw was on the Fritz MY TV Hey I got a cosmic vibe and man sakes alive I'm feeling like a jerk on the outside I got a gun up my nose I'm wearing panty hose and I'd give anything just to unwind I'm living my life in a fantasy land man if it don't glow I can't see it My head is buried underneath the sand I got nothing to lose but my wallet And it's thin MY TV Has emptied it MY TV And it just won't quit MY TV Man its on the Fritz MY TV It tells me what to eat MY TV Aw and where to sleep My TV It tells me where to go MY TV Yeah and who to know MY TV Tells me what to drink MY TV Yeah and what to think MY TV It tells me what to wear MY TV Aw and who's a square MY TV I watch MTV ON TV I watch VH1 ON TV Yeah I can surf the net ON TV Oh and I got E-Bay ON TV I'm getting tunnel vision FROM TV And I know I'm not the only one ON TV Yeah where's my gun ON TV Oh aw Shit
