I Want My Google TV (?)

[With apologies to Dire Straits]

I want my
I want my Google TV…

Smart television mojo, that’s the way to do it
Play Jersey Shore from the MTV
It ain’t workin’, Viacom won’t do it
Content unavailable ‘cept for normal PCs

No it ain’t workin’, What’s the way to do it?
Lemme tell ya Smart TV seems dumb
Maybe stream some clips from Jerry Springer
Just don’t try to watch ‘em over VH1

Nobody blocks my microwave oven
Or custom kitchen accessories
No-one disables my refrigerator
It ain’t the same with Google TV

See network news in the morning when you wake up
Replay finale of So You Think You Can Dance
Watch episodes of The Office so you crack up
But with Google’s browser you don’t stand a chance

Nobody blocks my microwave oven
Or custom kitchen accessories
No-one disables my refrigerator
It ain’t the same with Google TV

I shoulda bought a laptop with WiDi
I shoulda known Smart TV was dumb
Lookin’ for medical drama, clickin’ on Grey’s Anatomy
It’s ABC, so I can have none

And what’s that new show? Hawaii Five-0?
Haven’t seen an episode since the 70’s
It ain’t workin”, CBS won’t do it
Content unavailable ‘cept for normal PCs

Nobody blocks my microwave oven
Or custom kitchen accessories
No-one disables my refrigerator
It ain’t the same with Google TV

Listen here, it ain’t workin’, What’s the way to do it?
Unplugged guitar jams on the MTV
It ain’t workin’, Viacom won’t do it
Spent my money for nothin’, I can’t even watch Glee

Spent my money for nothin’, but I can click for free
Money for nothin’, Fox-blocked from Glee
Money for nothin’, got a black-listed IP
Spent my money for nothin’, and I can’t watch Glee

I don’t want my, I don’t want my, I don’t want my Google TV
I don’t want my, I don’t want my, I don’t want my Google TV…
