lyrics

I come over for dinner and a drink,
just to be by your side.
I read the Times and I wonder what you think,
you talk about the TV Guide.
And your life is full of color, nineteen inches on a screen,
Never sharper, never duller, the saddest thing I’ve ever seen.

You gotta get a life, open the curtains, take a look around.
You gotta get a life, step outside, put your feet on the ground.
If you don’t get a life, don’t look for me, I won’t be around.

All day long, I wonder where you are,
and is your day goin’ all right?
You’ve just been playing with your new DVR,
find out which Kardashian’s tight.
It’s your all-consuming passion, what you see is what you know,
It’s just make-believe compassion, excuse me pleae, I gotta go.

You gotta get a life, open the curtains, take a look around.
You gotta get a life, step outside, put your feet on the ground.
If you don’t get a life, don’t look for me, I won’t be around.

I know the lights, and the big city nights,
and I’d love to take you there.
But you’re on a roll with your remote control,
and you’re actin’ like you just don’t care.

Open the window, put your head outside,
get a reality check!
It’s not so bad that you need to run and hide,
turn yourself into a wreck.
When you find what you’ve been missing,
then the truth will set you free,
But if you won’t even listen, you’ll have to watch it without me.

You gotta get a life, open the curtains, take a look around.
You gotta get a life, step outside, put your feet on the ground.
If you don’t get a life, don’t look for me, I won’t be around.
