"No More TV Blues" - original

[hardlock]

Here's a new one about the perils of TV watching.  

This might be an idea for a fest (if not already done?) where you use only one rhyme for the entire song.  There are a few words I used multiple times for the chorus/bridge, etc. but most are all different.

Thanks for the listen and critics always welcome!  

No More TV Blues (c) 2011 Ken J Hill
---------------------------------------------------
   I just can't watch this TV anymore

   I'm just about to throw it out the door

   Everything they show is such a bore

   It's nothing that I haven't seen before

    Plus this cable bill has made me poor

    But do stay tuned cause we have so much more
----------------------------------------------------
   Everything they show is such a bore

   It's nothing that I haven't seen before

   Filled with ads of merchandise galore

   Business has to get you to their store

   There you'll find the sales on every floor

   For tons of stuff you really should ignore
---------------------------------------------------
   Can not watch the cable news no more

   Politics now are just a bloodless war

   Just more doom and gloom mixed with some gore

   Same old spin but a different media whore

   All just trying to sell you their rapport

   But do stay tuned cause we have so much more
---------------------------------------------------
   Let's try sports to see what is instore

   Just more conflicts I know they need to score

   It's all the same right down to its core

   It's bullies against the rest I do deplore

   This here pacifist is now getting real sore

   But do stay tuned cause we have so much more
============================
100 channels you can now explore
Each one worse than the one you had before

I just can't watch this TV anymore
I'm just about to throw it out the door

I also agree totally with the sentiments expressed in this song unless there's golf on. Nice gentle blues feel done to perfection..........Willie

Hardlock, this is fantastic. The music is stellar. The lead guitar work is to die for. So much feel and expression. Lyrics.... absolutely love them. Perfect song in my opinion.

[Wiley]

This was just unreal!!  Your lyrics and vox were superb!! So laid back and your solos were great!!  Just a total relaxed feeling. LOL   And when I think of TV  I get very irritated most of the time. LOL  Awesome!!

Thanks so much everyone for the kudos!  I said I was going to give it a rest for a while (tried watching TV instead of playing music) and we know where that led......

Gee, I've got a lot of catchup to do on this board!  Great stuff everywhere!

Your giutarwork is always a pleasure to listen to, and this is no exception. And the laid-back blues is a great vehicle for your voice !
