Talking heads
Proverbs 26:11 New English Translation (NET Bible)
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit,
so a fool repeats his folly.
Talking heads
Liberalism and mental conditioning
If I had a TV out here I would select a popular news channel
They have a few characters at night who appear to be all wet
They would release my fears and mail me a pair of flannels
So that in their world of sugar and spice I can chew the fat
The one who really strikes me seems in mental slicker suit
A liberal at heart, it seems, lost in his own state of smog
He thinks that being free is doing what you want too
And so be redeemed somehow from being mentally clogged
He claims to be an “American” whatever that means to him
He always is complaining from his chosen in a segregated maze
Well most seem he says is like a fluke and chances are very slim
That this cackling “parrot” will return from outer-space
