The TV is Talking to the Nation
The Television is talking to the nation,
Our one supply of 'real' information,
Turn over from the news,
We know our own views,
We say; as we pick our favourite actor,
And cast a vote for another disposable talent on X-Factor.
The Television is talking to the nation,
We rise as one in a standing ovation,
To applaud the bored,
The desperate and needy,
Give away wonderment all too freely,
But life a through a lense, it doesn't last,
We wipe our arse on yesterday's trash.
The Television is talking to the nation,
Creating endless banal conversation,
Politicians have become just talking heads,
"He had a nice smile we didn't know what he meant."
Success no longer about shared vision,
Policies Hah! He was on television.
The Television was meant to herald a new world order,
Seems like all it inspired was Attention Deficit Disorder,
The next generation, concentration spans like gnats,
With a lust for fame but got too fat,
Somewhere lurking the deep fried American dream,
But even they've forgotten, what it's supposed to mean.
