Story Behind The Song
The drone of negativity from media and politicians during this last election just got to be too much .. so here ya go.
Song Description
Mass media, the internet, email, blogs, etc...have clouded our perceptions and allowed us to cling to false ideals and ideas .. I got amused (and frustrated) watching people arguing directly to the television talking heads (like they could really hear us)

Lyrics
TURN ME OFF (c) 2008
Turn me off Turn me down ...
don't watch my face ... don't make another sound
there's beggars here and liars there
Asking for your precious time like we really care
Turn me off abandon fear
Make up your own mind not based on what your hear
Mind your "P"s when you plant your "Q"s Its always
someone else's reverence that we abuse
(chorus)
Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me
(hurry up and sell hurry up and sell hurry up and sellhurry up and sell)
Don't begrudge me when you can turn me off
Turn me off turn away
try and not to listen to another word I say
Mine your mind mind your deeds and I'll (we'll)
Try and not to insult your sensibilities
Turn me off don't talk to me no matter what you say there's no one here to disagree
so why don't you
Get out there and meet someone you know is real
And seek the middle way and ask them how they feel
(chorus)
Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me Don't begrudge me
(hurry up and sell hurry up and sell hurry up and sell hurry up and sell)
Don't begrudge me just learn to turn me off
