Couch boy

Sometimes the news bums me out
It doesn't get me off the couch where I belong
I guess as world problems never seem to rest
Am I afraid, God, yes I am
Won't somebody tell me why my TV
Claims we're born to die like this

Communicate, don't separate
Don't instigate a world of hate
Contemplate the situation
Negotiate your lazy ways
We've come too far to slip away
Solution is an invitation

Lazy, I am
Realistically, what can I do
I'll leave it up to the rest of you
You wouldn't like my point of view anyway
How can I stand aside and watch the weary world go by?
It's easy,to see, when you haven't got a window
Just a screen

Communicate, don't separate
Don't instigate a world of hate
Contemplate the situation
Negotiate your lazy ways
We've come too far to slip away
Solution is an invitation

And all that time we had to change it
Now it's time to face it!
