On TV by John McCabe

How can it be so hard to open up the blinds?
I don’t want to wade in this river
How did the double doors all get nailed shut?
It’s become one blind flood of criminals

There’s nothing new to see here
A shocking circus act
I will wait
I know you will never change or come around

Why is it second nature to claim that the earth is flat
Hold on tight when you wade in the ocean
I’m sure Louis Gohmert had something to do with that
It’s true because I read it on TV

There’s something new to see here
Crafted inflammation
I will wait
I know you will never change
My minds made up
We should probably agree to sever ties

There’s no easy way to fiddle with the feed
Constant anxious lies streaming in
Quick about-face

I will wait
My mind is made up
You disgrace
Nothing’s changed cause I saw it on TV.
