    And That’s the Way It Is (The Filler)

    Distraction on display:
    Everywhere a screen,
    (Everywhere a screen).
    Inaction leads the way
    Into the dream  
    (The always distant dream).

    Stay six feet away
    And watch a spirit fade.
    Hide yourself from love
    And death will have its way;
    (Hide yourself from love
    And death becomes your day).

    Served up in
    Technicolor Giga-Flicker Mode
    Governing the Mind
    Until it has all control.

    Shake your head this way,
    Now smirk and say, “You see?
    You can always trust the government.
    They said so on TV.”

    Nevermind, Oh Well, and Whatever
    Took leap and landed with the Children of the War.
    They thought they fought for something
    But they can’t remember why any more.

    And that’s the way it is
    and that’s the way it was.
    They showed that moon cartoon, man
    and everybody got a Buzz.

    Somehow it’s remembered red
    Yet it was old school black and white
    (that blood from Johnny’s head (exploding))...

    Is it in God we trust - or Kronkite?
