Ahem. To the tune of Depeche Mode’s “People Are People”:
CHORUS:
Bullshit is bullshit
So why should it be
I should give a fuck about what’s on TV?
Bullshit is bullshit
So why should it be
I should listen to the drivel spewed at me?
Now the working day is ended, I turn on my TV
Hoping to see something good but what do I see?
More pundits and more gibberish, more sanitized views
Of something that could only loosely be called the news
I ain’t got no clues
What makes the news
Such a fucking snooze
Please give me some clues
(CHORUS)
The news tonight is bomb threats and a terror alert
And Paris Hilton’s lame attempts to banter and flirt
The president’s an asshole and the veep is a dick
And the Botox in the water system’s making us sick
I ain’t got no clues
What makes the news
Such a fucking snooze
Please give me some clues
(CHORUS)
So I’m sitting on my sofa and I’m watching the tube
Wondering why in God’s name do I feel like a boob
The news is superficial, it’s all drama and hype
Why am I sitting up late just to watch so much tripe?
I ain’t got no clues
What makes the news
Such a fucking snooze
Please give me some clues
(CHORUS)
I ain’t got no clues
What makes the news
Such a fucking snooze
Please give me some clues
(repeat, fade)
