Wisdom and theory is lost in a cloud of smoke
blown up by atomic bombs dusting all our hope
the media promotes themselves and not the issues
they cuts scenes from, celebs to fathers with tissues
its you who they grab with commercial teasers
he shot them because.... then no response lingers
stingers rest inside me wondering about that family
while happily the news skips to dolphins swimming
trimming the facts to back a rehearsed class act
no sadness intact, just snakes with hair combed back
not like sports I pro-act, do and just not say
change the way peter jennings must relay
stay true to the cause, rock for liberty not applause
a clause to robot reporters must exist no shift or pause
they skip topic to topic emotionless in suits
dispute nothing the prompter is all that computes
repute characteristic characterize these characters
they fake glare as we stare without care at him or her
centered on senselessness our society has gone numb
some t.v. personalitys telling me if I am smart or dumb?
Those machines get force fed through earpieces
watch peace cease and let our worse fears leash us
scare tactics and color codes cannot fool me
I know this is simply another ploy for ratings
im not debating I am really playing some hardball
I will charge all until this house of cards falls
appalled how they flash from a grieving mother
switch to another island cast off or bachelors brother
shudder at the thought of our nation being in this state
irrate that desensitization has sealed our countrys fate
contemplate another way to escape the media circus
but clowns will give news about nothing reguardless
