cable news in poetry

fear fear fear
be afraid be afraid
fear fear fear
be afraid

don’t marvel at the future
or the past that we have made
fear fear fear
be afraid

your breath is rank
your pits are stank
everything is danger
let the cops drive a tank
don’t look out for each other
but make sure your bills are paid
fear fear fear
be afraid

consume consume consume consume
our prices are slashed
our values too
there’s people out there not like you
we hate them and you should too
trust us we’re the cable news
spend too much on clothes
or you’ll never get laid
fear fear fear
be afraid

and now
a word from our sponsors
