Jawbone of an Ass
This shit will rot your brain
This mass media thing selling
Multi media masturbation
Promoting a different kind
Of Onanism
It seduces your intellect
Until the only thing
A brain is good for
Is predicting the plots
Of silly sit-coms
(Forgive my slathering
The dentist got angry
When I ordered composite
Instead of amalgam
And shot my face full
Of pain killer)
They want me on that couch
They need me on that couch
Watching anti-mysterious who-done-its
Finding commercial advertisements
More entertainingly clever
Than the repeat programming
Constantly, annoyingly, more comfortable
And familiar than my own left hand
(The subway smells like
Roach spray
I guess it could be worse
Because even with all these distractions
Even with all these restraints...)
I feel a little more lucid
A little more here
A little more with it, man
With that little, tiny bit
Of Mercury
Removed from the back
Of my Jaw
