This Is Not Real

Joydrop

Every single day I watch the dead parade


The TV's on like opium


Superstars are raging


Stupid, loud and highly engaging


There goes the gravy train





The day changes, a million faces line up


To star in this over rated dream


Or so it seems





This is not real, will not last, does not feel


Like the touch of a glorious life


This is the worst kind of wasted


'Cause now you're standing here


Wondering why you sold yourself





More frequently I'm scared by what I see


The media beautifies, calculates and lies


The mindless becomes free


Flies in the face of someone else's misery


Laughs at the insanity
