Notice that I am trying to line up notes with syllables in the parts with words; however, listening to it is still the best way to get your timing right.
[Intro]
Riff 1
G|--9-8-7---------------------|
D|-------9-8-7-5---7------5---|
A|-7-------------5---5--3---3-|
E|----------------------------|

Riff 2
G|--9-8-7----------------------|
D|-------9-8-7-5---7------10---|
A|-7-------------5---5--8----8-|

Practice these SLOWLY at first, then gradually speed up. Play: Riff 1, Riff 2 (twice) E (seventh fret, A string) D (fifth fret, A string) B (seventh fret, E string) [Verse 1] Notes are: G# = 4th fret E string A = 5th fret E string B = 7th fret E string E = 7th fret A string G# A E another song about how much TV sucks G# A B washes your brain of intelligence G# A E you sit around all night and day G# A B was life really meant to be this way??
[Chorus]
Riff C
G|--------------------------|

The timing on this one is debatable.  Just listen and get it
so it sounds good.
Riff C TV sucks! Riff C TV sucks! etc. etc. Then play: (long means straight sixteenths, short means short) G#(long) A(long) E(short) G#(long) A(long) B(short) [Verse 2] G# A E watching your life go down the tube G# A B and you wonder why every day's a rerun G# A E nothing different happens, nothing new G# A B your life's a show and the show is over Riff C TV sucks! (etc. etc.) G#(short) A(short) E(long) G#(short) A(short) B(long) [Verse 3] G# A E a waste of time of a created mind G# A B Star Trek's been airing far too long G# A E can you sleep at night without sight and sound?

[Bridge Thingy]
G|-------9-7--------------------|
D|----9------9------------------|
A|--7--------------6-6-9-9-6-6--|
E|-------------7-7--------------|
Play that riff four times, then go back to "TV sucks!" [Ending] Thrash about a bit (whilst playing the chorus riff), scream "TV arrgh" and then end on a big ol E.
