TV

(excerpted from album "I Will Partake")

It's funny how when tv was first invented people said it was evil. Slowly the world changed and accepted it. Now the view seems to be turning again, and some once again claim of it's evils...

Glued in
Stitched up
waiting to find
who'll win that fucking cup
Desperate to know
How she'll choose
from her life of idiots or booze
Disconnected and deranged
pushing the edge of sane
don't care about the world, you know
just the television show

-Make sure you get the whole tv front of the shotgun please-

It's sucking your life away
you don't realize
it's taken the sparkle out of your eyes
your imagination gone
lust for life shot

you don't know how many friends you've lost
following celebrities lives
forgotten your own
can't remember the last time you left your home to roam
your world consists of fast food
and the next soap
now wonder you don't care if your kids lose hope

this is not your umbilical cord
you can cut free
abolish this existence
and realize
how you can gain enrichment to your life
for hundreds of years
we have been wonderfully existing without tv
reclaim your dignity
