After we saw Lee Harvey Oswald shot on TV,
there was no turning back.
Our old world had faded. Our old world had gone black.
Our old world had faded. Our old world had gone black.
Blue and pink lights flash across the screen.
Reporters pontificate at the scene.
The TV drones on,
we watch as if in a hypnotic trance.
(We do the zombie shuffle and dance.)
Our memories have been digitized, our brains blown
away.
What story are we buying today?
The Boston
Another five thousand dead in Syria
There are no umpires dressed in black.
There is no turning back.
Blue and pink lights flash across the screen.
Reporters pontificate at the scene.
