lyrics

So you stood with a microphone in the pouring rain

Bring the ratings, bring the revenue

Righteous rioters marched in the city streets
Police threw tear gas while you failed to retreat

A town crier for the evening news
Our living room is gray shades of blue
The live spectacle must surely be true
Bring the ratings, bring the revenue

With more drama than the daytime soaps
We watch you push the envelope
Could the situation be more dire?
Don't slip while on the high wire

Reality t.v. May possibly work for you
Maybe stick your limbs through the bars in a local zoo
