TV Is The Drug
That
Sedated, anesthetized and hypnotized
An unfortunate percentage of people
Into becoming unconscious enough to
Think a reality TV star could be president
What else could explain how easily duped
Voters could be so seduced by a tall dude
With a small and adolescent vocabulary
Misogynistic mannerisms and bullying bigotry
Who still are so deep under the influence
Are doped up enough to believe his lies
Which are then corroborated by state TV
With friends like that who needs enemies
Hopefully some time before the midterms
They’ll sober up and grab a cup of coffee
So they won’t answer exit poll questions
And get a VUI voting under the influence
SO SAD that chief chicken little keeps
Them strung out with new shiny objects
Seemingly falling from the sky so often
The boy can get away with crying wolf
Time for some rehab and turn off the TV
Cold turkey would probably be the best
That might be a shock to your system
Try weaning off by 15 minutes a day
I finally threw my TV away 25 years ago. You should hear how some people justify watching commercials.
