As Seen On TV
First Verse:
Wakin' up to Billy Mays
It's one of those hard days
Takin' a chance
Is made to enhance
These days
Pre-Chorus:
My life is a simple case of
Monkey see, monkey do
Chorus:
People watchin' TV
People sayin', "I don't wanna be me"
I don't wanna be
Like them
Growin' up listenin'
To R...E...M.
I won't be like them
I won't be advertised As Seen on TV
I'm gonna be me
After-Chorus:
Why should I care about
The flashin' of the cameras
I'll prove beyond reasonable doubt
That I care about yas
Second Verse:
Listenin' to the teacher
Like we need another preacher
I know it's boring
But it's better than roaring
To the bleachers
Pre-chorus:
Life isn't made
Just to follow another
Chorus:
People watchin' TV
People sayin', "I don't wanna be me"
I don't wanna be
Like them
Growin' up listenin'
To R...E...M.
I won't be like them
I won't be advertised As Seen on TV
I'm gonna be me
After-Chorus:
Why should I care about
The flashin' of the cameras
I'll prove beyond reasonable doubt
That I care about yas
Bridge:
Look around you
What can you fix?
I see it too
What makes them tick?
Just for kicks
What can you do
To stop this?
Chorus:
People watchin' TV
People sayin', "I don't wanna be me"
I don't wanna be
Like them
Growin' up listenin'
To R...E...M.
I won't be like them
I won't be advertised As Seen on TV
I'm gonna be me
2nd Chorus:
I stopped watching TV
I wanna be me
I don't wanna be
Like them
I've grown up listenin'
To R...E...M.
But I won't be like them
They'll be advertised As Seen On TV
But I'm gonna be me
After-Chorus:
Why should I care about
The flashin' of the cameras
I'll prove beyond reasonable doubt
That I care about yas
