Do Not Adjust Your Life

(TV changing)
Man found dead in armchair
Sitting next to wife transfixed and knitting
Channel stays unchanged
They dumbly watch, don't make a sound
They're force-fed shit
From breakfast-time
To the closedown
TV tells them what to be
And what to say and what to do
How to act and how to lie
But never question
WHY
And they're always
Switched off
Wife says
"Time for winner takes all
I wish we had remote control"
Man can't hear and goes unheard
As she knits through his final words
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off
If you want to turn me on
Turn the television off!
