Gone

Where is all I ask?
This television drama
Sydney Bristow as some agent
Is her body what sells?
Intrigue that lasts all of an hour
Imagines turn our mind sour

Where have we gone?
Gone to distractions
Gone to anything
Anything that holds us in a spell
Where have we gone?

Where is all I ask?
We call it reality TV
Women fighting men
Does strife interest us so?
Jerry Springer keeps us in a trance
Not degrading to us at first glance

Where have we gone?
Gone to distractions
Gone to anything
Anything that holds us in a spell
Where have we gone?

Where is all I ask?
This news show
People being wronged
Does the bad only stay?
Death and destruction mezmorizes for a time
Disasters distract us from the good to crime

Where have we gone?
Gone to distractions
Gone to anything
Anything that holds us in a spell
Where have we gone?

Where is all I ask?
Workers wacked out
Warped-minded man
Does mischief, mayhem, and soap sell?
Brad beating himself up is Pitt-iful
Is this what a man's supposed to look like?

Where have we gone?
Gone to distractions
Gone to anything
Anything that holds us in a spell
Where have we gone?

I'm only asking
Cause I wanna know
How we were tricked
To believe

I am only asking this question because I want to know how we were tricked into being distracted from what is real and will last? Television more than anything else in our society holds us in a spell. How people relate and how children learn many times can be seen on TV, which is sad!!
