But First I'll Close My Eyes For a Little Bit

The homeless man is dirty
His sign reads “DISABLED VET,
NEED $ FOR FOOD AND GAS, GOD BLESS
More like beer and wine, I bet

The television’s boring
The movies cost too much
The DVD keeps skipping
CD’s been played a bunch

The refrigerator stinks because
The milk’s gone bad again
There’s green stuff on the cheese, so
For takeout will I send

The video game defeated
Magazines repeated
Entertainment sorely needed
Until consciousness deleted

World events through press diluted
Imagination is polluted
By the slick and three-piece-suited
Cunning, crafty, serpent hooded

Shining one, the world deceiver
Are you a giver or receiver
Of the gospel – but believer
You should know the answer’s neither

In our actions nor our talking
Nor our preaching nor our walking
But in Jesus Christ our Savior
Through whom our strength will never waver
