PAINTING TASTERS

hey there sad reporter, nobody gives a damn
about the truth or freedom or the rights of man
people have busy lives and get news when they can
they don’t have the time to understand

money is everything
this is the song you sing
your words are beautiful but they don’t mean anything

oh you sad reporter, you’re not in command
you can’t be a team player in a one-man band
people have busy lives and get news when they can
you need to show them how to understand

money is everything
this is the song you sing
your words are beautiful but they don’t mean anything

oh poor, sad reporter, when you have control
i know you’ll make a difference and redeem your soul
’till then you’ll write your stories from a cubicle
go back to work and repeat what you’re told

money is everything
this is the song you sing
your words are beautiful but they don’t mean anything
