This song is a hymn to sloth, my personal favorite of the seven deadly sins.

Remote Control
is in my hand again
I can change the channel
but I can't change what I am
I'm wasting time
but I know I don't cry
got a pocket full
of tommorrows to try
another ruin on the couch...
I hear the phone
but I just let it ring
no my leg's not broke
my arms not in a sling
I oughta get outside
get up and move
why should I bother
I've got nothing to prove
Sit back, relax and slouch
I vote for nothin'
I've got nothin' to do
my friends are all at home
doing nothin' too
I'm fine and dandy
long as I'm alone
my time's the only thing
I can call my own...
(and the Fastbacks
meant it, too. How much so? they didn't even bother writing their own song, it's a Supersuckers cover. But I like this version better)
