The TV speaks of spirituality
Inbetween commercials
The country has been lost
Not to the commies
Nor to Satan
But to used car salesmen
Get your degree at home
Plan for it in preschool
Bachelors, masters, maybe even a Dr
To set off the last name
If it hasn't changed
Or been hyphenated
Find the perfect job
Add it to your resume
Before reason for leaving
Spend free time attached to cable or in
cybersex where fantasies are shared
Pathololgies accepted without even
A raised eyebrow
But remember it's alright
Because it's only fantasy
Put an ad in the paper
DWMSP looking for DSWF, slim 25-35
Kids okay if 25
Put a gun in every school lunch box
The hounds are set free
And call for more
More, more, more
Bolt the door and don't
Go out on foot after dark
Hold on tight
Hold tight to that degree
Never trust smiles of strangers
Wanting to give but not willing
To be taken
In old age
Now at the mercy
Of those smiles
Howling because
This isn't the way
It was supposed to be
