I want the beauty of television
I want a convertible automobile
at my sweet-16-celebration
I want to wear a big letter
on my cardigan sweater
I want to plaster my hair till perfection I want the "girl next-door" rushing to make me notice her
I want "it" to work out perfectly
I want us to be the cutest couple on campus
I want to be the envy
of all the alienated masses
that tune-in every week
to torture themselves
I want to be showered with undeserved adoration
I want teenagers to slice their wrist
because they cannot live up to my paradigm
I want mama to brag about me
at her bridge game
I want dad to say "that's my boy"
while watching me make "the game-winner" from the bleachers
I want to be at the end of every teenage girls masturbation fantasy
I want people to bypass their personal convictions to put a smile on my face
I am the Fox
I detest what I long for
I want to believe the lessons
but I am to caught up
in the beauty of Television.
