:: TV ::

She sits at home and watches TV
She wonders, "Is there anyone out there like me?"
And as we float so quickly turning through space
She imagines quite a different place

She's crying and I hear her scream,
"Won't someone wake me from this dream?"
I called, but somehow couldn't get through
Am I really that much different than you?

She sits at home and watches TV
And dreams of how her life might be
And "Is there anyone out there like me?"
She sits alone and watches TV

"Sometimes" , she said, "I feel so blind,
Is your reality that different than mine?
And if only we could think the same,
In that moment would we be insane?"

So she sits at home and watches TV
And fantasies how her life might be
And "Is there anyone out there like me"
She sits alone and watches TV

She asked if I believed in God (and you know I believe in a personal God)
She said she found the concept odd
She seemed to need a reason to live
And she asked if I had one I could give

So she sits alone and prays to TV
To bring her a new reality
And "Is there anyone out there like me?"
She sits alone and prays to TV

My attention span
Lasts three minutes or less
Flipping through the channels
To the next conquest
Still an obsession that I must confess
Only stop the remote
When somebody's undressed

Looking for salvation
From overpaid celebrities
Outcasts tomorrow like
Overthrown royalty
Filtered information
Is all that's given me
Stockpile the knowledge
And blow up the enemy

Objective lessons in space
Medieval monarchist man
Plagiarizing politicians
Sitcoms with the laugh can

Babysitter. Educator. Entertainer.

Friend.

Child rearer. Time stealer. Crime dealer.

End.
