I'm glad I weren't no pioneer
Ridin' in a wagon 'cross, The Great Frontier
I'm playin' by candlelight, power's out here
And I can't watch T.V.

I can't do nothin', nothin' at all
Every thing comes from a switch on the wall
Drives me nuts when it won't behave
No popcorn from the microwave

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sky's real nice
Moon's real big, stars real bright
Cable calls and it don't seem right
That I can't watch T.V., T.V.

And it breaks my heart, all I'm missin'
Bowlin' shows, old guys fishin'
How the dogs on the track did
Near death stuff reenacted

Where to call to talk to strangers
Interviews with hockey players
How to lose a pound a minute
Make big bucks, be rollin' in it

Shoppin' clubs, gladiators
Cher's make-up, roller skaters
Rhinestone studs in your new skirt
Bald guy stuff, psychic network
Don't you feel bad for me
That I can't watch T.V.?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sky's real nice
Moon's real big, stars real bright
Cable calls and it don't seem right
That I can't watch T.V., T.V.
Oh, cable calls and it don't seem right
That I can't watch T.V., T.V.
