The Slime

So, I definitely missed a few days. Did you miss me?

I'm sitting on my couch watching the new American Gladiator and I miss the writers. I understand the reason for the strike, but DAMN! I'm tired of watching crap TV.

Of course I could always take the opportunity the writers strike has afforded me to do something productive. Like cleaning out my craft room or actually working on a craft or reading one of the many books I received for Christmas. But all that requires effort and tonight I just feel like sitting on my couch and watching crap TV and complaining about it.

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guess me yet?

I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
