Give the People What They Want |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Give the people what they want |
Well, it’s been said before, the world is a stage |
A different performance with every age |
So open the history book to any old page |
Bring on the lions and open the cage |
Give the people what they want |
You gotta give the people what they want |
The more they get, the more they need |
And every time they get harder and harder to please |
The Roman promoters really did things right |
They needed a show that would clearly excite |
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight |
Threw the Christians to the lions and sold out every night |
Give the people what they want |
You gotta give the people what they want |
The more they get, the more they need |
And every time they get harder and harder to please |
Give 'em lots of sex, perversion and rape |
Give 'em lots of violence and plenty to hate |
Give the people what they want |
Give the people what they want, whoo |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
Hey, hey, hey |
When Oswald shot Kennedy, he was insane |
But still we watch the re-runs again and again |
We all sit glued while the killer takes aim |
«Hey Mom, there goes a piece of the president’s brain!» |
Give the people what they want |
You gotta give the people what they want |
Blow out your brains and do it right |
Make sure it’s prime time and on a Saturday night |
You gotta give the people what they want |
You gotta give the people what they want |
Give the people what they want |
Give the people what they want |
Give the people what they want |
