| Today I have some time to lose
|
| So I open the papers to read the news
|
| A bad buzz, a disturbing experience
|
| A real shock, I’m going nuts
|
| Tangled titles still linger in my head
|
| The harsh new reality, revisited
|
| (Pre Chorus:)
|
| The gloves are off. |
| And truth hurts
|
| Step through the looking glass
|
| Civilisation is on decline
|
| It’s just an ordinary day in North America
|
| Where the world’s a stage and the play is not a comedy
|
| It’s just and ordinary day in North America
|
| Sit comfortably and enjoy the show
|
| Scandal figure resigns after being subpoenaed
|
| Political plunge in misbehaving
|
| Senators seek to improve their image
|
| Lady vengeance knocking at the doors of the Congress
|
| Police shoot a knife-wielding fugitive
|
| In front of shot pedestrians
|
| Stray bullet killed girl, no progress in the investigation
|
| Attack dog out of control bites baby in the park
|
| Paris Hilton ruins Nick Carter’s life
|
| Journalist beaten by a drug crazed pop star
|
| Five years after the anthrax scare, no answer
|
| Homeland security awards $ 400M in anti-terror funds
|
| Experts gauge the quantity of materials for destroying planes
|
| Lawmakers agree to spend $ 1 billion on tightening border
|
| Today I have some time to lose
|
| So I open to papers to read the news
|
| But there’s something I don’t understand
|
| We revel in violence, plots, crimes and scandal
|
| Masturbating while reading the death notices:
|
| A post-modern form of catharsis?
|
