each night when I get home from work so tired I can't see
I grab my food & drink & then I turn on the TV
I'm looking for distraction so I won't stress anymore
but half the time I just end up more pissed off than before
you see, I'm kind of lazy & my standards are quite low
so it doesn't take a lot for me to sit down & watch a show
but too many annoyances have finally done me wrong
so I opened up another beer & sat down to write this song

(chorus)
so raise a glass to the screen now before you stop to think
cause the TV shows I love the most are driving me to drink
so spend another night with me in nerdy decadence
cause we know that when we're sober this will make a lot less sense
DRINK!

like what is up with Heroes? cause back in season one
it all seemed kind of random but it still seemed pretty fun
now there's a brand new character most every single show
when all I really want to see is Ando & Hiro
& I really can't help feeling like the cast is an excuse
to set up Peter with some brand new powers he can use
now no one else gets screen time & the metaplot's a wreck
quick, have him take his shirt off so the fangirls won't suspect!

(chorus)

Lost has lived up to its name, I'll tell you that's the truth
cause every single week I get a little more confused
I don't care about Kate's angst or Sawyer's kid or Jack's tattoo
JUST TELL ME WHAT THE MONSTER IS & WHAT DHARMA IS UP TO!!!!!!!!!!!1
& why have the survivors actually all met before?
like (insert long rant here)
who knows what it all means, because the flashbacks are a bore
& every answered question seems to spawn a thousand more

(chorus)

Battlestar Galactica would not be on this list
but recently its twisty plot has got me kind of pissed
cause half the cast are Cylons, Starbuck came back from the dead
& "All Along The Watchtower" is messing with my head
cause every time I hear that elusive music play
I image some Centurions rolling up a J (& it's scary)
so I think I'll go to Vegas, place a bet & make a killin'
when it turns out the twelfth Cylon is none other than Bob Dylan

(chorus)

now May sweeps have ended, the cliffhangers are hung
& for the next four months the shows I love to hate are done
my TV screen is dark, reruns are a waste of time
so what the hell do I do now, go out & get a life?
instead I think I'll read all of the spoilers I can get
& argue with some other fans upon the Internet
however much it angers me, this time the networks win
I sure wish fall would come so I could watch TV again

(chorus 2x)
