When I look into your eyes
I see 'Idol' on the brain.
But darlin' I don't watch that,
'cause Simon causes pain. Yeah.
Nothing lasts forever
and we all know what we see.
But I'd rather watch a candle
than reality TV.

We've been through this such a long, long time
and it's starting to wear thin.
Series always come and series always go,
so no one's really sure which one will soon begin, over again.
Now I know it's time to end this TV line,
I can rest my head at the death of reality, fine with me.
So if you want to watch that,
then darlin' don't refrain.
I'll just go out walkin' and I hope it doesn't rain.

Do you like to watch 'The Osbournes'?
Do you need to watch 'Batchelor'?
Oooh, everybody likes to watch 'Survivor.'
Oooh, don't you know we used to watch 'The Real World.'

I know it's hard to keep an open mind
with 'Fear Factor' to alarm you.
Keep this up, I'll have a broken mind.
All these shows seem out to charm you.
Whoa, ho, hoooooo.

Sometimes I'd like to watch 'CSI.'
Sometimes I need to watch '24.'
Oooh, everybody likes to watch 'Batchelorette.'
Oooh, don't you know you much prefer 'Big Brother.'

(Guitar Solo 2)

When these shows are gone
and their shadows just remain.
I'm sure you'll like the others
when there's nothing left for fame.
So never mind those crap shows,
there's always other scenes.
Nothing lasts forever,
even reality TV.

(Guitar Solo 3 - Kick it, Slash!)

Oh! Oh! Oh!
You're just like everybody.
You're just like everyone.

Don't you think like everybody?
Don't you act like everyone?
Everybody watches these shows,
you're not the only one!
You're not the only one!

Don't you think like everybody?
Don't you act like everone?
Everybody watches these shows,
you're not the only one!
You're not the only one!

Don't you think like everybody?
Don't you act like everyone?
Everybody watches these shows,
you're not the only one!
You're not the only one!

Don't you think like everybody?
Don't you act like everyone?
I despise reality TV.
