"Last updated on March 17th, 2021 at 08:40 am You&rsquo;ll get that when I wake up in the morning. Instead, I present you with a rhyme I&rsquo;ll be working on for when I drop my EP. (If you&rsquo;ve been talking to me, you know one is kinda planned.) I&rsquo;d love to know what my LJ friends, comprised of mainly non-rhymers, think of it. Merci beaucoup and goodnight. Alright, so I came up with this after seeing a woman read a copy of the Enquirer faithfully. It probably needs a helluva lot of work, but eventually, I&rsquo;m hoping to polish it and include it on an EP. Ah well, give it a look and let me know what you think. I scribbled it out on the bus this morning. I did some editing as I typed it up. VERSE ONE: You could&rsquo;ve got your hands on quality literatureBut seem more interested with celebrity furnitureY&rsquo;all get high on the Star, I interrogate the EnquirerIf you read the Weekly Sun, man, I ain&rsquo;t gonna admire yaYou trust Soap Opera Weekly as your TV GuideYou know it better than the Bible&mdash;the tube&rsquo;s your joy and prideYou&rsquo;re fickle, affected by tales on AffleckWonderin how many hickeys lie on Jennifer&rsquo;s neckI guess that&rsquo;s more interesting than 1984 or RootsYou rather read text with the complexity of Puss in BootsShakespeare would be rolling in his grave to knowThat his plays&rsquo;ve been butchered by kids like DiCaprioIt seems that there&rsquo;s a crisis when all the middle-aged femalesInstead of furthering education school themselves on the e-mailsThat incriminated so-and-so of whatever administrationY&rsquo;all trapped under the hell of the media&rsquo;s ministrations CHORUS: Y&rsquo;all keep reading up on your trash magazinesYou take the garbage for gospel in your trash magazinesY&rsquo;all use rhetoric from the rubbish in your trash magazinesYour brains are dead from the bullshit in your trash magazinesY&rsquo;all keep reading up on your trash magazinesYou take the garbage for gospel in your trash magazinesY&rsquo;all use rhetoric from the rubbish in your trash magazinesYour brains are dead from the bullshit in your trash magazines VERSE TWO: Don&rsquo;t think the problem stops with the generation afterWe still got the same shit, just in a different wrapperYou got Cosmo, YM, Maxim, let&rsquo;s not forget StuffTalkin bout how to please your man, how to keep that body buffThey&rsquo;re five percent informative and ninety-five manipulationI tend to think Sunday Funnies give out better informationIt&rsquo;s all over, the media&rsquo;s got your minds on lockIt&rsquo;s in the things that we do, and in the people we mockIt&rsquo;s in the things we strive for, and in the places we flockThey want us all to conform, and is it ever gon&rsquo; stop?I don&rsquo;t think so, it&rsquo;s much harder to be an individualMost of us would settle for that everyday ritualMask your face with the make-up, tangle the gel in your hairMake sure your skirt&rsquo;s above your knee, g&rsquo;head and stuff ya underwearCall your friends up, act like you don&rsquo;t care what people do to youAnd continue to let the magazines control what you do CHORUS. BRIDGE: What you gonna do? (What you gonna do)When the Media Monster makes it way to claim you?I said what you gonna do? (What what you gonna do?)When the Media Monster sets its gaze upon you? VERSE THREE: Let&rsquo;s take it one &mdash; step &mdash; furtherTo a generation immersed with images of illicit doings like murderThe Net&rsquo;s feeding them fragments of a fictional truthThey&rsquo;re badly belittled by adults as belligerent youthLike when the 6-year-old shot Karla at Buell ElementaryWhy would he do it? The solution to that&rsquo;s quite elementaryOur North America values violence, sex, and controversyYou can&rsquo;t change the channel without seeing it, my mama cries &ldquo;Mercy...&ldquo;Mercy Me, what that&rsquo;s crap you&rsquo;re watching on the TV?I don&rsquo;t want that propaganda in my home for my kids to see!&rdquo;Too bad it was the 6 o&rsquo;clock newsMisrepresenting the world with distorted lenses and their cock-eyed viewsWho to trust? It&rsquo;s dangerous out thereMisinformation is abundant&mdash;it&rsquo;s like the suits don&rsquo;t careYou gotta play your part and keep your own mind cleanAnd step one is getting rid of the trash magazines.
