A model of pretense
and monopoly
"And now, Oprah's favorite things!"
Where choice doesn't really exist-
We get the same
However we choose
Right...left...whatever
Dogs barking, howling
at whoever lives in the white house,
Beck, Limbaugh, Olbermann, Maddow...
we see the mouths moving,
and all we hear is blame
and fear,
sarcasm and hopeless wit.
"We'll be right back after the break..."
with more from the EIB Network...
or MSNBC...
or Fox News
We've found that what we have
in common
is at the bottom,
not the top.
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"
Forgetting our history,
doomed to repeat it
"All glory is fleeting, All glory is fleeting..."
A country where tilting
at windmills,
or millstones
means you're crazy...
Forget what's important
