Five Iron Frenzy

An idea dies, in the same slight way,
that we lose track of the facts.
Slowly, unseen, slipping silently,
through some fabricated cracks.
And now the freedom of the press,
has turned to freedom to impress.
Perfect hair, sells product well,
like suffocating, sickly smells, the make-up smears,
like false pastels, like glossy, sugarcoated, shells.
Tune in, tune out, goodbye, goodnight.
They're buying you with fear and lies.
Turn it off until it's right,
that's the news, that's all, goodnight.
The advertising dollars buy,
the right to stifle antonyms,
