Bars and Tone

You remind me of a video
I really like the programs that you show
But if I flip your switch no doubt
Your picture tube is out
I can tune you in, but I can't turn you on

I think your advertising somehow lied
Love was listed in your T.V. Guide
But every channel I select
Is somehow incorrect
I can tune you in, but I can't turn you on

We're in our prime time zone
But when we get alone
All I ever get is bars and tone

I believed the stats your ratings told
I want you on my horizonal hold
So this is my P.S.A.
It's all that I can say
I can tune you in, but I can't turn you on
