MY TV

by Jesse Shanks

The clowns are on the tube again
Just when I'm trying to drink a beer
What they say just makes my head spin
Stand-up comedy's the last thing I need to hear
It's bad enough they monitor, regulate
Legislate, prevaricate and take from me
But when I sit down after work to vegetate
Why do they spoil what's on my TV?
I see the lies
When I drive the roads
The proof in the cities is In the civil codes
The comedy in Washington
Is more than I can stand
Sometimes I wish some
Freaking aliens would land
Everyday I'm doing what I can
To fight the odds for my family
I know I'm getting fucked over man
You don't have to put it on TV
