Tonight I Watched the Radio

I sat down to watch the radio There was nothing on TV I have two hundred channels But there was sweet F.A for me I could have watched one channel And learned to fricasse A chicken raised on wild grains By a woman chef named Bea I started checking channels But I decided in mid flick That I was getting tired And I was also feeling sick So I sat and watched the radio Since there was nothing on TV I have two hundred channels But there was sweet F.A for me I worked on through the listings English, French and some bad **** There were movies on one station That were made 'fore I was born Out of all the things I saw on there The best show I could see Was something shown in black and white Made in nineteen sixty three My TV s high definition With cables left and right But to find a show I'd like to watch Was taking half the night So I sat and watched the radio Watching nothing happen fast But as I sat there watching I travelled bckwards to my past Still flicking through the channels Trying to find something to see I thought I'd found a hockey game But it was all in Punjabi So, I listened to the music Watched the radio, passing time Then I thought, why do I have this? With what I paid, it was a crime eleven channels showed the same times 8 networks made at least eighty eight tv stations That didn't make the grade Twenty two were pay for view The French networks were ten Then the networks there in Real HD And so, it started once again Pay for **** was fourteen strong New shows added two Weather, sports and info shows Now I was at one eighty two. I could have bought alot of stuff On informercials through the night I could have bought Pro Active But instead I watched the light I turned back to the radio With the station light in green It was better than the tv set And all the crap I'd seen So, Tonight I watched the radio There was nothing on TV But as I sat there bathed in that green light The music showed me all I need to see.
