A Tube From Where To No-Where

 
T'was never..  
Meant to be swallowed  
...and wallowed in  
   
Gotta learn to gargle and spit  
...these marbles of media...  
Where folks marvel from  
That seedier  
... greedier  
..........needier..  
Content...  
   
Are they content?  
Satisfied?  
   
NBC sho iz gratified from  
N-umbing  
B-rain  
C-ells..  
   
Now pick a personal hell  
..i.e....channel  
.....where vices and fears  
Get channeled  
   
....... and conscious thought...  
Sprayed like pesticide..  
... best decide your status...  
..in this apparatus  
   
What was that?  
Someone just had a brain fart?  
Let life imitate art  
...or a facsimile there of?  
   
..there in  
   
[Lies] the reason  
For their demise  
Them eyes glued to imagery  
   
Welcome to the menagerie  
Of many hues  
Rubes imbued in  
...a monochromatic tone..  
   
..for such comments  
Do we the outcast atone?...  
...nahh....but still  
It's tough standin alone  
..out here in the field left of....  
   
Can we call it
Grand theft auto~~~~mation?..  
   
One nation under a ________ .  
   
Yeah...that's 'bout  
What we're shootin now..  
   
Blanks...  
   
...thanks for your time...
