simpson family hardly spoke
with seven kids
it wasn't a joke
just meeting at night on the sofa
all trying to watch tv
tucked away in north west three
car in the garage
but dad lost the key
so no-one leaves
not even for school
place is a mess
but the game shows are cool
someday
they'll get a life
put away the remote control
smell the roses 'fore you get old
hey you
get a life
turn it off and throw it away
wake up and walk away
'cause grandma
granddad
remember the days
before the one-eyed monster came
nobody listens as they say all this
cause everybody's glued
lunch and dinner in front of the box
nobody moves
if somebody knocks
nobody ever hears the phone
conversation's a memory
someday
they'll get a life
with the remote control in the bin
wave to the world you're living in
one day
they'll get a life
but at the moment
it's out of their reach
a life of luxury on the beach
one fine day
a challenge was thrown
by a man at the door in an escort
all this could be yours" he said with a grin
