We had an earthquake in the desert today

Not much of a story but we’ll extort it anyway

There was no damage, no death and no fear

Doesn’t really matter cause we choose what you hear

You might as well go grab a beer

We have a program quandary

Forget the Pope died and the Mayor’s scam

Ignore the foreign spies that are now on the lam

We don’t care that the gulf is no longer clear

Keep remembering that we choose what you hear

You might as well go grab a beer

We have a program quandary

Here’s your twenty fifth look at our seismograph

That dirt ball Tsunami is heading right in your path

We’ll show you the dust clouds from our copters near

Don’t ever forget that we choose what you hear

You might as well go grab a beer

We have a program quandary

We’ll repeat the same words for the hundredth time

Our lack of information is simply a crime

We’ll show you yet another swinging chandelier

We really mean that we will choose what you hear

You might as well go grab that beer

We have a program quandary

Our competition claims to have exclusive views

We’d wet our pants for a scoop we could get on the news

It doesn’t matter which channel you select

We have all been bred to have the same lack of intellect

What the hell do you expect

We have a program quandary
