Morals
Time for Oprah
Or Geraldo
Shocking Jerry
Or sly Sally
Just look at one
And you get the message
Of how far we come, baby
Somewhere along
The information hi-way
We have lost
All our morals
They reveal it all
For the daytime viewers
Who lap it up
Garbage and all
When they're too tired
Or bored with soap-operas
Or time between picking up
The welfare checks
Or yapping on the Tele.
Rape, incest, pre-teen sex
Murder, guns, violence
Diets, gluttons, gangs
Anorexia and bulimia
M&S, prostitution, pimps
Gigolos, transvestites
Homosexuals and lesbians
Some of the choice topics
Bombarding viewers
Day and night
No wonder we turn out
A nation of sick kids
The sicker the topic
The higher the ratings
This TV sadism
Is the name of the game
At least now
We can't blame
The communists
The problem is right
In our own backyard
How did we arrive
In this immoral abyss
The mothers of our daughters
Or the fathers of our sons
The pundits surmise
Without surprise
When women entered
The employment line
The kids stepped out a line
And immorality
Was on its way
Maybe the government
Aided and abetted
This phenomenon
Taxing the consumer
To the hilt
Making it impossible
To carry the burden
On a single family's income
With modern technology
Displacing the loyal
Poor breadwinner
With cut-backs
And downsizing
A family spends
Too much time grasping
For the almighty dollar
Mothers too tired
To drink a cup-a-tea
Have no time for discipline
Too tired to spend
Any quality time
With their young
With their spouse
With themselves
Too tired to hug their kids
Kids get hooked on tv
An easy cop out for parents
Becoming addicted to nintendos
And now the rivaling Sega!
Young teens in search of love
Hang out with their peers
Looking for fun
Fondling a gun
Experimenting with weeds
Innocently planting the seeds
Of evil and immorality
