It's worth mentioning that Ben is Australian. I interpret this song as being about Ben's perception of America when he was a teenager. American TV shows portray the US as a glamorous, exciting place. I think the song is saying that when Ben was a teenager, in 1992, he saw these American shows and was inspired to put some excitement in his own life, right there in Australia.
