The Tubes - TV is King 1979 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
