lying awake at quarter to two
watching the tv as channels roll on
a boy says he'll wait for his girl
she promised she'll reach before dawn
another man says its so naive
to look for meaning in a song
a third thinks its not alright
to kill a man before he's born
fourth channel shows a man with wife and kids
he should be happy but his face is long
fifth shows a successful author praised
but his expression seems withdrawn
i switch off the tv
and close my eye
and soon images in dream
like channels go rolling by
