              Television

Television, television
gave me a lobotomy
without an incision.

Pale blue light
kept me up all night
I didn't like colour
so I tried black and white.

24-7 flip and strobe
there goes the Dali Lama
in a long red robe.

Barak Obama laying it on the line
Jimi Hendrix still singing
If six were nine.

General Motors and Chrysler
singing the blues
some kid in Africa
without a pair of shoes.

24-7 flip and strobe
like an alien abduction
without the anal probe.

This is really good! Television, the vast wasteland on the lip of the abyss.
