T.V. Dinners

violence on t.v., violence on the news

reality and fiction both served up neatly to keep us all amused

reality and fiction have both become the same

instead of facing the facts we search for new scapegoats to blame

the time has come to stop sitting back

to say "no, we've taken enough of this crap

violence isn't acceptable in any form

so let's work together to make peace the norm"

the blame lies not within the system

the blame lies not with the state

the blame lies not within religion

we've all learned to love to hate

it lies within each and every one of us

the time has come to stop sitting back

to say "no, we've taken enough of this crap

violence isn't acceptable in any form

so let's work together to make peace the norm"

a society fed on violent shit

will go out on the streets

and start to re-enact

fighting, muggings, sexual assaults

become part of the everyday scene

people acting out what they have seen on the t.v. screen

the time has come to stop sitting back

to say "no, we've taken enough of this crap

violence isn't acceptable in any form

so let's work together to make peace the norm"

the time has come to change

before it's too late

because when we drop the bombs

there will be no one left to love or hate

the time has come to stop sitting back

to say "no, we've taken enough of this crap

violence isn't acceptable in any form

so let's work together to make peace the norm"
