Video, video, and its alluring haunted glow,
I'd like to outgrow video,
They'll be right back, don't touch that dial,
Too much is riding on their, too perfect hair and smiles,
Big stakes in this medium,
That's far from rare but never well done,
As content loses out to style,
Video video and its alluring haunted glow,
I'd like to outgrow video,
Couch voyeurism only leads,
To useless ad campaigns for some crap that no one needs,
A talking head without a flaw and,
The weather girl's a barbie doll and,
The guy on sports is high on speed,
Video video and its alluring haunted glow,
I'd like to outgrow video,
There in the corner blinks the drug,
The fix is never ending, and no one pulls the plug,
Nothing much on any station,
It's all been done in syndication,
I'd rather sit and watch the rug,
Video video and its alluring haunted glow,
Like a plug in gigolo selling status quo,
I'd like to outgrow video,
Video...video...video...
