Good for the Ratings
John Wesley Harding
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a war on TV And it's good for the ratings There's a madman kissing babies And it's good for the ratings No-one likes to hear swearing in an interview But if word slips out in some well-placed previews Well, who knows? There's some live suicide and it's good for the ratings A plane goes down, some relatives cry And that's good for the ratings It's OK to exploit public tears on a face Provided we appear to disdain it on the surface That's OK And if it's good for the ratings It's good for you You get better quality programming too And if it's good for the ratings It's good for me I love my TV And if it's good for the ratings It's good for us all We just gotta hope the ratings will fall I hate to see a bad loser But he's good for the ratings And some gun-toting lunatic Always good for the ratings If he's gonna do it, it's not my problem, it's his 'n Hey, man, that's what I call good journalism Well, whatever... There's a game show on TV And I'm not concentrating There's another squeaky soap You know I'm still waiting I just flick through the channels I watch them zap by I'm waiting for something to catch my eye Hey! Look at that And if it's good for the ratings It's good for the world It keeps the flags unfurled And if it's good for the ratings It's good for your soul Everyone needs to be told And if it's good for the ratings It makes you stand tall You just gotta hope the ratings will fall I hope the ratings will fall I hope the ratings will fall
