THE DEVICE OF THE AGES

 
                THE DEVICE OF THE CENTURY
                A MARVEL SO HIGHLY TOUTED
                IT HAS CHANGED OUR HISTORY
                IT’S PLAUDITS LOUDLY SHOUTED

                FOR GOOD AMD BAD ITS USED
                IN ORDER TO PROVE AN ISSUE
                SOMETIMES GOOD COMES FROM IT
                AND OTHERS YOU NEED A TISSUE

                A TELEVISION SET IT’S CALLED
                IT’S MEANT TO ENTERTAIN US ALL
                MANY THINK IT IS WONDERFUL
                AND IT’S AN INDIVIDUAL’S CALL

                SOME CALL IT A BOOB TUBE
                IT’S A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME
                ELECTRONICS TOUTED AS SMART
                IN REALITY IT’S A MEDIA CRIME

                IT’S SAD WHEN THE BEST THINGS
                ARE RERUNS OF SIXTIES SHOWS
                NOTHING ELSE IS WORTH WATCHING
                AND THIS ALL OF US DO KNOW

                THE NETWORKS ARE ALL THE SAME
                CAN’T COME UP WITH ANYTHING NEW
                BORING KNOCKOFFS OF FORMER HITS
                IS ALL THEY OFFER US TO VIEW

                I THINK WE ARE “DUMBING” DOWN            
                BECAUSE OF THE THINGS WE SEE
                TURNING IT OFF, FINDING A GOOD BOOK
                SEEMS LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE TO ME
