Children of Reaction

Taught to react As soon as we're born Hand and eye coordination Is the societal norm Sports and video games Racking up virtual kills While neglecting what matters Critical thinking Skills Busy pushing buttons Or saying who's to blame It is a society of reactors Discouraged from using our brains But now I'm becoming aware Of my glaring deficiency And there's so much more to life Than the gospel of TV But I think I found an angle You can take to the bank If they say it on TV It's just a mental crank If it tells us aliens are invading Don't react to the lies And if Jesus returns on the news It will be only holy hype
