in the beginning, there were westerns
swashbuckling cowboys 'gainst virile indians
but that became too civilian
so up the violence to make heads turn

gunshot begot blood and action
feeding gore till abstraction
slaughter, carnage, till distraction
increase adrenaline dopamine reaction

from morn to dawn you're fed this trash
until you're driven to rehash
feel that gnash, the bash, that thrash
ain't no wonder we've got backlash

you are what you eat goes the aphorism,
don't need Einstein for this wisdom
feed a guy racism, you'll get a fascist,
feed him violence, you'll get a sadist.

you say the pulchritude is only skin-deep,
there's nothing wrong with voyeuristic peep,
feed a guy trash from ******* heap
act surprised as what you sowed you reap.
