Horror Cartoon

Little boy gets all that he wishes for 
Little boy, his eyes are like open sores 
Gazing for days at the television screen 
Big brilliant colors make his little heart scream 

The dogs that beat him up 
Machines that spit him out 
Fun-filled fantasies that he cannot live without 
Explosions from a hydrogen balloon 
Life inside a horror cartoon 

Mother buys books for Johnny to read 
Mother tries, but she cannot succeed 
Johnny won’t sleep, or eat, or go to class 
Little boy trapped inside the TV glass 

The cakes that explode 
The upside down carousel 
Johnny cannot escape this hanna-barbera hell 
Tonight a huge talking baboon 
Life within a horror cartoon 

Jumping from windows 
Landing splat on the ground 
With a soft squishy sound 
Walking on water 
No worry, no pain 
Inside your disney brain 

Little boy gets just what he wishes for 
Little boy is a boy no more 
Liquid skin and painted eyes 
Now won’t his mom be real surprised 

The shapes that he can be! 
The things that he can do! 
Now don’t you wish 
That rubberband boy was you? 
Day and night, morning and noon 
Life is but a horror cartoon
