Voyeur of Boredom

Someone here isn’t telling the truth
To figure that out doesn’t take a sleuth
Look closely the baby just cut his first tooth
The elders are so fascinated by youth

What is that boiling, maybe it’s beef
Looks like some ne’er do well tracked in a leaf
The dog’s furry face is covered in grief
Completely swept up in a nonsense motif

Struggling to make up a meaningful night
The room has gone dark, the screen has gone white

Voyeur of boredom, I don’t get this stuff
Voyeur of boredom, I can’t get enough
Fighting the need to sleep
It’s so hypnotizingly cheap
I’m a voyeur, a voyeur of boredom in deep

Will Mitzi give up and just marry Jim
Or change her mind, and go off with Tim
Hey look the roads blocked by a falling limb
Hey my eyebrows could make use of easy trim

Just think about all of this bullshit I’ve learned
Tim hit the road, and poor Mitzi got burned
There’s something ‘bout something that I could’ve earned
While channel after channel after channel is turned

Struggling to make up a meaningful night
The room has gone dark, the screen has gone white

Voyeur of boredom, I don’t get this stuff
Voyeur of boredom, I can’t get enough
Fighting the need to sleep
It’s so hypnotizingly cheap
I’m a voyeur, a voyeur of boredom in deep

I’m a voyeur, a voyeur of boredom in deep
