LES CLAYPOOL

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And the shit has
Just hit the fan

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
There's a scrouge
Trampin' cross our land

The film I'm about to show you
Will fill and overflow you
With a rage that's
Beyond command

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and
Here's what's new

Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems

But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams

About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And perhaps you didn't
Hear me right

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Every man Jack of you
Should volunteer to fight

If I were only ten years younger
I'd slake this vengeful hunges
And rest assured we'd all
Sleep safe tonight

This is David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and God bless you

Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems

But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams

About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style
