I like the colors
I like the way they move
They're all so brilliantly realized
They just could not be improved

I love the way the sex is so overt
I love the way the violence doesn't hurt

It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's bigger than life
And better than all your dreams

It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
A perfect facsimile
It's a cartoon world

I like the things their saying
I like the way they're said
I like to change the channels
While I'm lying in my bed

From the commercial to the anchorman
They've done research on my attention span

It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's smaller than life
And better than all your dreams

It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
And bigger than you and me

And the stars are brighter
They've got more charisma
And more style than you and me

I watch the news on tv
It doesn't mean a thing to me
What's a little ethnic cleansing?
That's the way it's always been

I was excited when the war began
Now I've got gameboy, I'm a happy man

It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's bigger than life
And better than all your dreams

It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
A perfect facsimile
It's a cartoon world

It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world

It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world

It's a cartoon world
