Reality TV

Have I really moved any distance
Or am I simply caught in a constant
Present tense?
All this obsolesence
All this background chatter
All...wallpaper...?

They say there is a crimewave
And there's a seeming credit crunch
Is it something that I've missed?
Was I sleeping?
Or am I simply out to lunch?

Welcome, welcome
Welcome to Reality TV
Welcome to the death of reason
To the death of you and me
I say welcome

All of the news as entertainment
All the human suffering presented
As undying art
Watching closely as those tricky interstertials
Tug at your eyelids and play their
Distracting part

Welcome to Reality TV
To the death of you and me
Welcome to Reality TV
Welcome
Welcome
