Excuse me Mr Mayer

5am
remote in hand
doing the insomniac shuffle
thru endless cable stations
whoa MTV2
there’s John Mayer
telling me there is no such thing
as the real world
it’s just a lie we have to rise above
blue funk
damned if I haven’t spent half my life
trying to understand the real world
trying to fit in
trying to adapt to what is real
and it was all a lie
before I become suicidal at this news
I glance back at the screen
And there is John Mayer
25 years old and pretty as a picture
raking in millions
for singing to a world of teenage girls
what the hell does he know
about the real world
In disgust
I flip back the the millionth rerun
Of I Love Lucy
Now this is the real world
