The Box

With the push of a button
And the turn of a dial
You just switch off your mind
And stay lost for awhile

It's all prerecorded
It's all reprogrammed
For your entertainment
The intellectual sham

Your train of thought stops
At the first network station
Where all the full color madness
Pre-empts imagination

So you watch all the action
As you yawn and you sigh
In the thought controlled daydream
Reality passing right by
