This song criticizes kids who chose to stay in, drink beer and watch mind-numbing TV shows, rather than go out and experience the real world: "I wouldn't be without my TV for a day (or even a minute)/Don't even bother to use my brain anymore (there's nothing left in it)." Throughout the song, Black Flag name-check multiple TV shows which were popular at the time, including Dallas and Hill Street Blues.
The cartoon cast of the TV show Futurama covered this song for the "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television" episode.
This song features on Black Flag's influential debut studio album, Damaged. This album was ranked at #340 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
