An Ode to Dr. Phil by Emily Barrett Lyrics

Screen glowing bright in the corner of the room
The best hotel show to watch at night
Or for mediocre afternoon TV

One man with four other
Chairs on stage screaming
For attention and
Belonging and
Answers

The eyes streaming rivers
Remotes being thrown
Rehab on the other line of the phone

We’d rather watch other
People than going
To therapy weekly
And now we’ve begun to self diagnose.
