Megaphones (Nothingness Arcade!)A Poem by Michael StevensANY domestic news network!![]()
Verse: Talking heads each screaming
nothing louder than the rest. knee-padding egomaniacs and morons
in their quest to get higher ratings than they've
ever got before, and sure enough, they've gotten
ratings galore!
Pre-Chorus: But, they've forgotten just one
thing, and that's the truth, in their quest
to bring
Verse: entertainment to the viewer, they
glorify jack-asses. They bring this three-ring circus
to the masses. It's an electronic pinata with absolutely
nothing inside. They don't care where we're headed, just enjoy
the ride!
Repeat Pre-Chorus:
Chorus: Megaphones all screaming to be
heard over the others. When one clown fades, they zero in
on their brother. It's reality T.V., without and
minus the reality. But they don't seem to care about
that, it's must-see!
Verse: Uncle Walter would be hanging his
head in shame. It's not news to the networks--to
them it's a game. They treat us all like we're all in
the third grade, like we're morons in this
nothingness arcade!
Repeat Pre-Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
End
