I wanna travel, but I’m far from a rich man
I’m as far as I can get without living in hell
Maybe the army, I can reach my potential
but the crewcut’s essential
and I don’t do mornings very well
The world is calling
I’m not willing or able
The world is calling
Then again, there’s always cable
I can see the world on all seventy channels
I can see the world and I don’t have to travel
to a faraway land
I can go when it pleases me
A faraway land
and avoid all the foreign diseases
Two O’clock in the morning
books are really boring
so I’ll take a trip to the great wall
Cables out again I missed my destination
I guess it’s just a pile of bricks
way out in the Chinese sticks
The world is calling
There aint no way I’m flying
The world is calling
There are better ways of dying
I can see the world on all seventy channels
I can see the world and I don’t have to travel
to a faraway land
I can go when it pleases me
A faraway land
and avoid all the foreign diseases
I don’t need painful vaccinations
no problems with airline reservations
I couldn’t ask for more
I can see the world on all seventy channels
I can see the world and I don’t have to travel
to a faraway land
I can go when it pleases me
A faraway land
and avoid all the foreign
I can see the world on all seventy channels
I can see the world and I don’t have to travel
to a faraway land
I can go when it pleases me
A faraway land
and avoid all the foreign diseases
