Kids were screaming
Wife was bitching
Just took the keys out of my ignition
Why do I always feel like a jerk
After a hard day s work

Might have a couple regrets
Right now I ll take what I can get
I want a television set to free my mind
Television set, to drown em out
Television set, might as well have been blind
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out

Smoke and mirrors
Snakes and ladders
You climb a few, you slide back down
My head is on the pillow
My heart is in the basement
My mind is in the gutter

Girls roll around in the sand
And I got the telephone in my hand
Let s not forget

Television set to free my mind
Television set, to drown em out
Television set, might as well have been blind
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There s nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There ain t nothing better for the down and the out
There s nothing better for the down and the out
