Blood is on your hands
Seen by popular demand
Better scrub it off the prision walls
Smile for the cameras
For the folks at home
Better look around
Before you break those bones
The miracle of satellite
The world is watching you tonight
Your days are numbered
Who would'a guessed
Tv is god and your show is on next
Like a shot ringing 'round the world
Too many things we've never heard
From moscow to manila
The world is watching
The world is watching you
Got some footage of the boys in blue
Letting off steam on the evening news
It's your turn to learn how to live in fear
Now all your sins just won't disappear
The miracle of satellite
The world is watching you tonight
Your days are numbered
Who would'a guessed
Tv is god and your show is on next
Like a shot ringing 'round the world
Too many things we've never heard
From moscow to manila
The world is watching
Like the bomb dropping on the world
Too many flames are left to burn
From saigon to suburbia
The world is watching
The whole world is watching you
Closing in tighter on the soldier's face
The sport of war played for the network race
Media thriving on someone's disgrace
Would you believe it's true
And is there anything you can do
The miracle of satellite
The world is watching you tonight
Your days are numbered
Who would'a guessed
Tv is god and your show is on next
Like a shot ringing 'round the world
Too many things we've never heard
From moscow to manila
The world is watching
Like the bomb dropping on the world
Too many flames are left to burn
From saigon to suburbia
The world is watching
This world is watching
The whole world is watching you
