Headlines-I wanna hear some 
Good News-Even if it's a lie 
Scandal-For me to gaze on 
Entertain me tonight 


"Happy day ends in death" 
Love those headlines 
Need those headlines

Shocks children at mall"

Hey! what's your favorite cartoon show? 
Mine's the Prime Time News 
Nightline, Twin Peaks, or the Simpsons 
Are all about as real as... 


Headlines-We all believe 
Good News-What we wanna believe 
Why let- truth get in the way 
of a good story 


Spin Control 
Stress Control 
Image Doctors 
Photo ops 
So much goes in 
And comes right back out 
Of my mind 


"Vegatarian terrorists" 
"Autopsies of the rich and famous" 
Reenact a crime 
It's real enough for me... 


"A hopping mad Madonna stormed out
Of a Hollywood beauty parlor
After discovering the staff was selling her
Toenail clippings"

Before the Egyptian railroads bought them by the ton
And used them for locomotive fuel"

After 50,000 hypodermic needles fell from his cycle
On a busy highway and punc-tured the tires on 141 cars" 


"Two weeks later
While they were eating hamburgers at a drive-in
Jim-and I just love this part-
Put an onion ring on Sandy's finger
And asked her to marry him" 


Hey! 
This is how life should be 
So I'll pretend it is 
Happy news 
For Happy people 
With Happy problems 


Headlines-tell a person something 
Good news-Long enough they'll believe 
Anything-What they think is real 
Instead of what they see
