What's wrong with the big city?
People livin' like they ain't got no TV
I think I'm somewhat addicted to the drama
Only to be bugged by things that'll give me trauma
Overseas, yeah, I get to watch the gong show
But still looking for gossip on talk show
Watching USA, but not PMS
Oh, there's Cartoon Network on CBS
But here's the new season of The Amazing Race
First, let me see what's on channel 28
Look for 3D action movies right in your face
And I hardly even got a blind date, yeah
Some shows don't really suck but blow
Like a certain dramatic reality show
Seeing some marathons where there's no stopping
Take control of my own TV watching
There's something missing, but I can't find, nope, nope

Channels changin', channels flippin'
Reruns show and you see them trippin'
Can you practice what you watch?
Why turn your IQ down a notch?
Would you really like to help me?
Can't stand the bad stuff on TV
Some slacker I was, I was questionin'
Where's the remote ('mote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote
Remote, remote

Now I'm feeling kinda stuck on one channel
Though I'm gettin' enough of Steven J. Cannell
Some of us only care about channel changing
I somewhat kept on getting my tables rearranging
Events that I missed, always shown by the media
Negative images give me mass hysteria
The living room fills with dust, webs, and bacteria
Would I rather end up going to the cinema?
Yo', whatever happened to the bad news of humility
I can't watch the Tenacious D pick of destiny
I can't find the remote, I'm down with animosity
Strangely, but I'll have something to do with community
Is anyone here going to flip the dial?
I'll watch Operation Repo for awhile
There's no one in here wanting to flip the dial
Can't even tell me where the remote is found

Channels changin', channels flippin'
Reruns show and you see them trippin'
Can you practice what you watch?
Why turn your IQ down a notch?
Would you really like to help me?
Can't stand the bad stuff on TV
Some slacker I was, I was questionin'
Where's the remote ('mote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
Where's the remote (remote)
