lyrics

SHOWTIME (5.08)
(McKella)

See another image on the TV screen
Images of chaos, a reporter on the scene
See another picture, front-page news
Another man of power and all he has abused.
Reams and reams of paper rolling off in print
Telling us the scandal — watch a politician sink
And time and time again he said it wasn’t true
But somewhere down the corridors somebody knew.

Chorus:
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking it’s showtime once again.

Muslims and Christians’ ‘bigging’ up themselves
About to give each other just a few more rounds in hell
Evil dictators who think they’re gonna fall
So they ask their people to answer to their Gods call
Further to the West a high wind blows
Scientists are saying global warming’s on the go
Temperatures are soaring, sea level riding high
No need to analyze we know the reason why.

Chorus:
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking it’s showtime once again.

High above the stratosphere a satellite glows
Probing the Universe and beaming down more shows
And scientists are asking if there’s life out there
If you were an Alien, now would you really dare?
News flash report on a sad occasion
Was it just an accident or was it assassination
Millions of flowers in nineteen ninety seven
As they sent her body up to television heaven.

Chorus:
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking it’s showtime once again.
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking now here we go again
Hear them talking it’s showtime once again.
