lyrics

[for those who use television as a weapon to dumb us all down. Get fucked.]

I’m sitting home alone in my armchair watching my TV and as I’m channel surfing, I’m horrified by what I see. There’s pregnant teens being granted with their own reality shows and how come MTV ain’t about the music anymore? We’re the Fist Pumping Generation—what’s this world coming to? Honey Boo Boo and FOX News all make me want to spew. There’s commercials competing for spots desperate just to sell and all of SpongeBob’s new writers should go straight back to hell. The History Channel tells me where we’ve been, but where are we going? The anchors say we should be worried but there’s no way of knowing. So let’s turn off the ten o’clock news and hide under our chairs because I don’t want to hear about more homicides—I don’t care. When I was young, I tell you true, that I did love TV but growing old I realize it just spits trash from its screen. There’s men in suits who control every second that we watch. I guess welcome to the Golden Age of Entertainment Botched. And for those of you that watch CSPAN with the Elephants and Donkeys: well, I can’t tell the difference cuz they all look like pigs to me!
