Box of Lies

Persuasions offered in their words
Slogans repeated in ways absurd
It must be true on the TV

No biased questions on the news
Political lies and points of views
It must be true on the TV

Reality shows to numb the brain
The masses are easy to train
It must be true on the TV

Poor souls addicted to the soaps
No dignity left and no hope
It must be true on the TV

Some chef made a beef stroganoff
To hell with this I’m turning off
Nothing is true on the TV
