Talking Heads

Problems here problems there
Problems problems everywhere
What shall we do what shall we say
to problems faced most every day

Could there be none to solve these quests
Could there be none to help us rest
Alas but no, there are the best,
the talking heads shall make us rest

These talking heads well they know best
for they know more than all the rest
There's none to learn nor even guess
these talking heads, for they are blessed

These wonder agents on the air
talking more than their fair share
These saviors from all woes and cares
to whom there's none beyond compare

There's none surprised, advanced they knew
among them sin will never do
No words nor wrong, their words are true
for perfect speech they'll share with you

If talking heads were in command
We'd all be safer in this land
No one would starve or have demand
If talking heads should take a stand

From troops deployed to finance too
From climate change to taxes due
With children safe within their view
why even death will flee from you

Ideal these talking heads may be
these talking heads run not you see
for office govern over thee
whose lives may not be as they seem

For dig would others as they do
to find their lives imperfect too
a past divorce or two or three
perhaps a crime or villain spree

Perhaps poor grades or past arrest
imperfect kids or family pest
perhaps some drugs or bankruptcy
these talking heads perfect they be

But alas we'll never know
these talking heads who make the show
For fear that they would be exposed
and networks forced to let them go

So while they pontif 'pon their chairs
and sit on thrones of judgment fair
and know they more than average bear
these talking heads will never share

Their lives rehabbed or drunken spree
filthy mouths, viral disease
For when they cast as king and queen
their mirror shined looks back with ease
