Electronic Heroin

I thought I would share this little diddy with you about my addiction to TV and the Movies. Frank Zappa played this on SNL many years ago but nobody including me was changed by it.

TELEVISION



I am gross and perverted,
I am obsessed and deranged.
I have existed for years,
But very little has changed.

I’m the tool of the government,
And industry, too.
For I am destined to rule,
And regulate you.

I may be vile and pernicious,
But you can’t look away.
I make you think that I’m delicious,
With the stuff that I say.

I’m the best you can get,
Have you guessed me yet?

I’m the slime oozing out from you TV set!

You will obey me while I lead you
Into the garbage that I feed you,
Until the day that we don’t need you.
Don’t go for help; no one will heed you.

Your mind is totally controlled,
It has been stuffed into my mold.
And you will do as you are told,
Until the rights to you are sold.

THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS
DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL!

    Except for my grandfather, there is no other man I miss as much as "The Maestro". He had a way with words, but it was the instrumentals that are incomparable.

    That seems fair and balanced. :wink:

    "until the rights to you are sold"!

    How prescient! Can you say "google" and "F-book"? Because if you can--the rights to you "have" been sold!
