What if I told you, "American Idol" is lame?
Would you concede it, and say the same?
It's almost that feeling that we've seen it before
Last time it was some boy band called O-Town
But I tell you they're a one hit wonder now

From a dumb show like this
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show like this
Smart people'd lurch forever
From a dumb show like this
Oh, I can't believe this dreck is on T.V.
Smart people'd watch some prime time
For no dumb show like this

Each season changes, but bad shows remain
Some shows so tepid, I can't explain
I may be sleeping, but then can you blame me for dozing through this boring show?
And I'll cherish Nicolodeon's "Double Dare"

Over a dumb show like this
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show like this
If this show isn't sucky
I don't know what is
Oh I can't believe the junk that's on T.V.
Smart people'd watch some prime time
For no dumb show like this

Could this be the lamest show of all?
I wanna know you''ll axe it when its ratings fall
So let me tell you this:
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show like this
A dumb show like this
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show like this
If this show isn't sucky
I don't know what is
Oh, I can't believe this dreck is on T.V.
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show, no dumb show like this
Oh, I can't believe this is primetime T.V.
Smart people'd watch some primetime
For no dumb show like this
