LYRICS
\nThe fading scene of the magazine
\nOnce the scourge of the forest
\nNow it’s being put to rest
\nSoon I hope to see
\nThe same thing happen to TV<\/p>\n

Maybe we can learn to earn
\nThe need to earn to learn
\nAn appreciation for the acquisition
\nOf knowledge as privilege<\/p>\n

Today and forever more
\nBanished to a waiting room
\nIn the fading light of glory before
\nParent of an empty womb<\/p>\n

With any luck, reincarnated
\nInstead of to the garbage fated
\nRecycled to a new life form
\nA birthday to be reborn<\/p>\n

The fading scene of the magazine
\nOnce the scourge of the forest
\nNow it’s being put to rest
\n… think it’s best<\/p>\n
