Saw some trash on the screen
Despite a lack of skill was still a man of means
He spouted hate and I agreed
All because I saw him on TV
Heard the words and I believed
I knew my side would not deceive
But our control would bring reprieve
All because I heard it on TV
That’s my guy Orange and Cream
Bloated cartoon fool who only thinks in tweet
Gave my support so he’d succeed
All because I knew him from TV

I don’t have room for any more
Two-dimensional individuals.
Take all your medicine
Dr. Who, Dr. Quinn.
Dr. House is in my house.
Get him out. I want him out.
You wanted it to feel more real,
How much more real can it feel,
To witness as your nation
Becomes a TV station?

I am not a harlot
I won't move like they move on TV
Young but I am tarnished as your marks have been cast upon me
Still, I am not a harlot!
I won't move like they move on TV

TV's on and the weather man is gone
Where did he go
Ain't nobody know, maybe gone outside
Don't spend too much don't waste it all away
Just wait it out
And keep an eye til they decide to come around
It's cooking out here won't someone let me in
Maybe buy me a drink
Let me wander about til I've done my time
Take my money and take my phone away
Won't nobody know
Won't nobody care until it's all too late
Ima check once more just to see what I can find
Motivational thoughts
A ticking bomb and broken clock
Weatherman's taking a break for way too long
Did he slip on the ice
Did he find a new job or did he just go home

There’s nothing on TV, and nothing to say
Wide awake, trapped in your embrace
Could I seep through the carpet like dust over time?
And disappear from constructs of mind
Late in the morning you know where I’ve been
Come without warning and sink in my head
Late in the morning you know where I’ve been
It did nothing for me I want it to end
No way to stop now, I’ll bleed ‘til I’m dead
Eternity, my new enemy
All bets are off now, forget what I said
So cursory, your comfort with me

Born into a lowly manger
Then a 30 year cliffhanger
He died side by side with heathens
cancelled after just two seasons
Holy bed where I watch cable
Jesus died so I am able
Jesus under anesthetic
Who knows if he’s gonna make it
Sterile walls of Israel’s stables
Died upon the operating table
Holy bed where I watch cable
Jesus died so I am able
The musical improved the fable
Superstar: a decent playbill
Crucified to have His will done
Died again just for Mel Gibson
Naked girls on Television
Jesus died for me, still a virgin
Holy bed where I watch cable
Jesus died so I am able
Wasn’t even syndicated
Jesus Christ: was he overrated?

You called me fun
You called me brother
And in my prime
Like a mother
You held me tight
You gave me comfort
And all my time with you
Was filled with wonder
Kid
In your window
Loved your
TV show

When Kyle and I go out for tacos, sitting at our table
That’s the only time I ever find I’m face to face with cable
And we’re talking over salsa, sort of glancing all about
Then we’re both engrossed in some Spanish Judge Judy watching people shout
Then we have this conversation, when it's been a couple minutes
About attention spans, reality shows, how invested we were in it
And I'm always so surprised, uncanny lure of the TV
Heaven please preserve our talking and please bless the rice and beans

2,073,600 tiny specks of light dance across an ocean of black.
These weird machines.
Far sighted.
Trying desperately to convince us all that any of this means something.
