Idiot Box

some bullshit from America

or the latest Australian hit

there’s nothing real on your tv

and what is on is shit

artificial and unintelligent

it’s not real and it’s not right

it doesn’t even make me think

just wakes me wanna’ fight…

washed up has-beens litter the screen

their fake mouthing's claw at the brain

every channel every day

everything’s always the same

their flawed shallow vacuous scripts

are an entertainment blight

devoid of any endearing substance

and because of that we have to fight…

constant barrage of stupid ideas

a celebration of the mundane

what’s supposed to be stress relief

turns out to be a pain

this puerile shit you fling at us

morning noon and night

got to escape this digital mind fuck

got to stand and fight…

a void of bromidic programming

punctuated by an onslaught of insulting ads

all heil the latest trends

and conform to the latest fads

an insipid cliché a celebration blasé

indifferent idiocy with no respite

that’s why have to say NO

that’s why we have to fight...

ch

fight against their latest release

fight against their prime time hit

fight against their fragrant grease

fight against their real crime shit

fight against their doctor shows

or the ones full of stupid cops

fight against those feel good series

all set in coffee shops

fight the overpaid executives

fight their primetime abuse

fight the dollar driven tunnel vision

fight against their narrow views

fight the burnt burger sponsored offerings

fight their inane dumbed down pap

fight the fake propped up ratings

fight all their televised crap
