The Square Tube
Step right up folks!
To a world of scrambled brain escapes and soured chitlin burials
A place where only the apathetic and lonely dwell
And the Sterns and Springers play Powerball with your glazed eyes
Where we can wander aimlessly across its deserts for years
Looking for the enigmatic oasis of survival
So that body and soul can quench its thirst with QVC and Infomercials
Lures us to inactivity where cells lie dormant and synapse ceases
Promises us a reality that has but drunkenness to offer
Loads us on the assembly line of closed arteries and intellectual atrophy
Ah, the square tube
Momentary life for the pretenders
Never ending opiates for the masses
And inevitable lethargy for everyone
"But wait, call us today and you can receive not one, but two..."
