Bah with the Bah

Your political view is breathtaking

When it comes to repeating,
You're a master.
Manipulated by fear, hate and disaster

They pull your strings
I watch you sing
You claim they're your thoughts
But I just heard them off your tv

It's everywhere
Asses planted in couches
Pretending to care

Uneducated opiate addicts
Regurgitating in masses
And when the tragic happens
They find us lost...
...zapped to screens just like moths

It's left me cold and dead inside
Watching buried heads waiting to hide
Rapid hourglass of quick sand
Pretending to give a damn

Who gives a fuck?
Not us

Robots questioning my sentience
More plots that can't form a sentence

And if I call them sheep
It's not even unique

A million blinks before they think
A million mindless stares, unaware
They point fingers everywhere the same
They hold mirrors up without the shame

Defense mechanisms to hide the hate
We can't admit that we relate
When truth dies to the flame
It'll be just another day

Another day we sat to waste
Inaction praying for a change
Pat your own back in praise...
We're the only ones to blame
