VERSE 1
Pick your battles, change the channel
To inner peace, rage can’t hold a candle
So much negativity invading your space
As if you could actually change this place
Worldwide trauma is too much drama
While everybody likes to blame Obama
Don’t forget who the real owners are
Remember as you put gas in your car
CHORUS
Why am I watching this brutal shit?
Why am I reading this vitriolic lit?
I’m saving my anger for another day
I’m changing the channel to get away
VERSE 2
Save your sanity, no more Hannity
The safest space is your own canopy
Filter out the hatred and brutality
Too much finality in this reality
It’s not that I don’t give a fuck
It’s just that we’re shit out of luck
Don’t rub it in my goddamn face
You can’t invade my safest place
CHORUS
Why am I watching this brutal shit?
Why am I reading this vitriolic lit?
I’m saving my anger for another day
I’m changing the channel to get away
VERSE 3
Too much anger and too much scorn
We’re physically sick and mentally worn
Sometimes it’s better not to be born
To a world covered in bloodlust porn
People wonder why I run and hide
From the darkness I keep on the inside
Because it’s like a war zone outside
With too much bigotry and national pride
EXTENDED CHORUS
Why am I watching this brutal shit?
Why am I reading this vitriolic lit?
I’m saving my anger for another day
I’m changing the channel to get away
They say I need to open my mind
Yet they’re the ones who are blind
What do they think I’ll try to find?
Death and disease of a different kind?
