Watching The News
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
bzz bzz bzz bzz
watching the news
the plot you already know
don't have anything
they don't belong to anywhere
imagining things to be perfectly white
who are these people?
they don't belong
where's the u.s. navy?
i like the action
money money
food here
woman woman
fight here
approval approval
frown frown
approval
my daughter's not some damn hamburger chainsaw
in a parking lot
she trips
quick quick
won't somebody help me?
she carries that television on her back
as i watch the news
that's the russians
carry the television
money money
carry the television
food here
fuck here
fuck here
fight here
get out
approval
you don't count
the president today announced that he's pushing all the buttons in a giggling fit
ha ha ha ha
you already know
makes you feel good
makes you feel so good
i want to be on
i want to be on
so good crying
i want to be on
the news
i want to be known
i want to be known
i want to be on
i want to be known
come on everybody knows that everybody's watching the news
watching? watching?
it's something about crime, crime, crime
i like to watch
but i like to
what do you want?
what do you want?
what do you want?
legs rush, legs rush, legs rush, legs
scary, scary, damn scary
come all ye faithful ye joyful triumphant
