Translation of Glued to the tv by Nina Hagen

From:

A rather beautiful and good evening, my ladies and gentlemen. I cordially welcome you to today's program and hope that you get a good reception

Alone!
The world has forgotten me.
I hang around [like a couch potato].
Everybody is pissed off at me.
I am sitting at home!
Don't feel like doing anything.
I feel old.
I'm the same as my granny!

I turn on the [TV] tube.
The Daltons, Waltons, everybody.
I gawk from East to West [channels] 2, 5, 4.
I can't make up my mind,
Everything is so beautifully colorful here!
I gawk at the TV.
I gawk at the TV, wow!

I am burnt out. Was that already my life?
My beautiful fantasy!
My [switchboard] relays are gone. [i.e., 'My brain is fried."

I turn on the [TV] tube.
The Binders, Winders on channel 3.
I gawk from East to West [channels] 2, 5, 4.
I can't make up my mind,
Everything is so beautifully colorful here!
I gawk at the TV.
I gawk at the TV, yeah!

I'm going nuts! Well, I won't touch another book
-- it's upsetting to my stomach! Literature? Puke, puke ...
And the doctor novels I have already read,
Finished when I was twelve!
Man, I am a literature buff!
And the refreshment wafers [poured out????],
Gag, gag, puke.
And this shitty chocolate makes me fatter,
And fatter and fatter, and ugh!

I turn on the [TV] tube.
Happiness! Splish splash! Fun, fun!
I gawk from East to West [channels] 2, 5, 4.
I can't make up my mind,
Everything is so beautifully colorful here!
I gawk at the TV! (She gawks at the TV).
I gawk at the TV! (She gawks at the TV)
I gawk at the TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TV
I gawk at the TV (Wow, wow, wow, etc.)
TV, TV, TV, TV -- TV is a drug! -- TV, TV
TV is addictive!
