Sleep By Remote Control

I’m much too tired 
To get up 
And change the channel 
And though this infomercial 
Isn’t something 
I really want to watch 
It fills in the time 
I guess I’m too lazy 
And too damned broke 
To buy new batteries 
For the remote control 
So I’ll just lie here awhile 
And keep pressing the buttons 
Until this thing either works 
Or I eventually 
Fall asleep
