That Most Addicting Drug

Among humans it's the most addicting drug
We embrace it everyday more than a hug
It has made most people wack
Ever since it was white and black
Today everyone can use it
For games, shows, and music
We can watch it in our homes and our cars
It's in our schools and our bars
There are those whose highs are illegal
Which they get through a joint, straw, or needle
Oh but this drug takes us for a repetitive ride
As we sit there taking it in with our eyes wide
And your children take it while sitting on the rug
The television set is that most addicting drug

This is a good angle, if I may say so. TV is certainly one of the most prevalent drugs. Congratulations
