Cable News Mind

Verse 1

Six o'clock the coffee's cold again

The talking heads all shout my name

Red and blue they paint the same old lie

And I can't remember yesterday

Pre-Chorus

The static fills my empty head

I used to know what mattered most

Chorus

Losing my mind to the cable news

One slow frame at a time

I can't recall my grandkid's face

But I know the headlines line by line

Oh the channels blur to grey

Verse 2

The scroll keeps crawling past my eyes

Disaster dressed in bright red font

I reach for names I swore I'd keep

And find they're gone at the day's long front

Pre-Chorus

The anchors speak a language wild

I used to know my own front door

Chorus

Losing my mind to the cable news

One slow frame at a time

I can't recall my grandkid's face

But I know the headlines line by line

Oh the channels blur to grey

Bridge

Broken memories down the wire

Flashing warnings all in vain

Tell me who I used to be

Before the talking began to drain

Chorus

Losing my mind to the cable news

One slow frame at a time

I can't recall my grandkid's face

But I know the headlines line by line

Oh the channels blur to grey

Oh the channels blur to grey
