Lyrics:
Im a part-time lifer in my easy chair
I can see the world though Im not really there
History, the animal planet, someone elses discovery
And if Im feeling hungry, I just turn to FoodTV

Im a part time lifer in my easy chair
I abandoned my dreams, now I find them on air
Give me the remote control, see if I can find the vein
Watching lives I could have led, helps to numb the throbbing pain

Im a part-time lifer in my easy chair
Here I learned if I can see it I dont really have to care
Children starving, parents killed, in disasters far away
And if I turn the channel, all the evil goes away

And I fade in to the wide
Screen out all my drive to fight
The time I lose is acceptable to me
As long as I dont have to face my grim reality

That Im an armchair general in the coldest of wars
I sit down, what really happens is I close a few more doors
Battles never fought, cant go too far when Im plugged in
A campaign against myself, making sure that I cant win

And I fade into the light,
Hypnotized by satellite,
And at the end, when they unplug me,
I hope that I am numb to my small obscurity

Well Im a part time lifer in my easy chair
I want to do more, but Im afraid that I might find something there
What if the big world I see on my wide-screen TV
Turns out to be too big for unimportant guys like me?
