So now let me set the scene
spent twelve hours watching TV
and there's nothing else that
I'd justify as a use of my time
Let me clarify what I mean
no literal walls around me and
there's no posted guards
as far as my window allows me to see
and I watch the History Chanel a lot
and I saw this special about
a prison that didn't have to worry about locks
'cause there's thousands of acres of forests
you could run if you want they'd even let you walk
cause there's nowhere you could go
exploring new frontiers of bored
there's no point in opening doors
and I haven't seen my
shoes in so long I don't know where they are
there's no point in looking for them
there is no foreseeable end to this
grand experiment testing effects of lack of stimulation
on subjects isolated and indifferent
and I watch the History Chanel a lot
and I saw this special about
the old west that told me you would have been shot
if you walked around carrying a gun at your side
like they always did in all of those old movies
but who wants to believe that?
