"Cacophony" - Original Song Lyrics

I wrote these lyrics, and I think many of you may identify with their theme. I'm well aware of the fact that the lyrics are repetitive and "basic," but that's what I was trying to go for. I think I would set the lyrics to music similar to that by And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Take a look:

Cacophony

You turn on the TV
Noise blares from the box
Buy this, do that, be like this
Will it ever stop?

As your eyes glaze over
And your brain goes to bed
Does it ever occur to you
That a box is messing with your head?

When are you going to turn a deaf ear?
There’s so much more that awaits you
Let light flood your skull,
Go out on a limb
Open up your mind,
Let light pour in

You sit in the pew
Noise blares from the pulpit
Do this, stop that, believe this
Does it ever cease?
As your eyelids grow heavy
And your mind winks out
Do you ever wonder
What it’s all about?

When are you going to turn a deaf ear?
There’s so much more that awaits you
Let light flood your skull,
Go out on a limb,
Open up your mind,
Let light pour in




If you have any questions, comments, criticisms etc. blah blah you know what I'm talking about, feel free to post.
