MTV 24/7
(Based on a True Story)

Back in the 80's, 
working as a waitress,
I got lots of rants
serving all those drunken Todds
Oh My God that job sucked,
but tips gave me lots of bucks

at Bobby McGee's - jeeze!
I was such a hot mess
as the Green Giant 
since men tried to pick my pods
treating me like a slut 
trying to grab my butt

Watching MTV 24/7, 
back in the 80's felt like heaven
showed me that not letting those jerks grab my @$$ ain't wrong
Watching MTV was a great lev'rage
let me forget I spilled a bev'rage
let me forget all the crap I dealt with all night long

Then came that night 
when my boyfriend cheated
playing at a gig 
with all my colleagues
they couldn't wait to tell me
then he blamed that all on me

We had a fight
that was extremely heated
he was such a prick
making me scream and weep
I felt dark and empty
so I turned on MTV

Watching MTV gorging down ice cream
'cause my heart pain felt extreme
made me realize that prick was not ideal
Watching MTV 24/7 
back in the 80's felt like heaven
listening to music is what made my heart feel healed

Watching MTV will never end
MTV Vee-Jays felt like best friends
MTV is what gave me hope for a brand new start
Watching MTV 24/7 
back in the 80's felt like heaven
everything it gave me lasts forever in my heart

Thank you MTV
