Talking directly to the television, the speaker asks it to do what a person should do for themselves: decide how to feel. Each pair of lines hands over another piece of independence. The speaker wants to know whether to be upset or calm, who to hate, who is safe to play with, what to fear, and what to buy. Even the request for money to borrow suggests that the spending the screen encourages leads to debt.
The tone looks polite and even cheerful, especially in the thankful lines about "great advice" and a flight to paradise. But the simple rhymes and childlike questions make the speaker sound almost like a child asking permission, and that hints at something uneasy underneath. The last lines are the sharpest. By making the television "king," the speaker gives it total power, and its promise of "everything" sounds too good to trust. The mood is darkly ironic: it mocks how easily people can let media tell them what to think, fear and want.
