I'm right on the edge of the platform
Somewhere someone is talking but I don't listen
I'm a modern man in a world of cartoon norms
Whose learned everything from a television
I experience what I see and I always conform
Teaches me I can be anything; a lazy teenager waiting on a train
A confused twenty year old missing life's opportunities
An embittered thirty year old who half-heartedly tried in vain
A silent and dull forty year old sitting in front of the TVs
Anything really
Really

This reminds me of the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death". Sadly this is very true, especially for many men in our culture where being a man means being good at Halo and sleeping with as many women as possible, while contributing nothing to society. |
