Until then

Demented by this Deafening Behavior

we teach our children to read

yet they learn what they see

if you never open a book

they won't ever give a second look

they watch how we act

then you wonder why

they're such a "brat"?

you want them to be kind, decent human beings?

then be one yourself

not just in your silly dreams

the world's getting tired of babysitting your kids

it is time to change

get out of this little hissy fit

if the truth is

watching t.v. every day, hour, minute 'til your dead

really won't make you that sad

then teach 'em that

don't let them be misled

if the anger doesn't really hurt others

not as much as it certainly hurts yourself

or the money was undoubtably worth all that time

and you never traded your soul with that career

then by all means

be sincere

your actions are screaming for all

way too deliriously loud

shouting over your own words

words that seriously

no one can hear
