Oh, give us TV, without violence, please!
We’ve discussed this at least fifty years.
We’re sick and we’re tired
To see programming mired
In murder and mayhem and fear.
Chorus:
How do children learn
To be wise, free thinking and strong?
They need role models who
Show the kind thing to do,
Who demonstrate violence is wrong.
Do you wonder why crime increases each time,
With those do-it-yourself training shows?
How to rape, rob and scam with complete diagram.
We are truly fed up, heaven knows!
Chorus
Don’t train kids for crime,
With your prime time slime—
Put spunk and adventure right back.
We want FCC
To enrich our TV
With programs of fancy and fact.
Chorus
