i need a brand new TV
that shows me shit i want to see
gives me lessons in tragedy
and takes away my humanity
show me symbols of
mass communication
full of love
and
psychotic manipulation
i need to be shown
how to be
how to live
how i should have grown
how to be free
how to give
all this and more
on a twinkling screen
made just for me
scene by scene
i need a brand new TV
that shows me shit i want to see
gives me lessons in tragedy
and shows me this thing called humanity
show me symbols of
mass communication
full of love
and
psychotic manipulation
if i had a bit more power
i could watch for countless hours
all the death moving in foreign lands
without a drop of blood on my own hands
give me something else to buy
like water or drugs
or the bright blue sky
give me something new to see
like emptiness and vanity
or self righteous calamity
show me who i want to be
from the flickering screen
of a brand new
TV
