Media Circus, Tabloid NationMedia Circus, Tabloid Nation
The newest media circus has come into town
So click it on so you have something to discuss at work
Just make sure the idiot culture doesn't make you drown
Did I just say "idiot culture?" Guess that makes me an elitist jerk
So I turn to tabloid nation to find the latest news
Apparently Brad and Jen broke it off, because of the Tomb Raider
And what's this? Alec Baldwin slept with a monkey for some booze?
Oh and look, Tara Reid just banged some guy south of the Equator
Well that didn't work, maybe the newspaper with cure my woes
Oh hey, the top story of the day is about a blizzard
Can I really trust a paper with Congressmen trying to pass as average Joes?
And headline writers who seem to have the brains of a lizard?
So let's switch to something a little more balanced and fair
Something like Fox News, or at least that's what they swear
Sean Hannity says the liberals are winning
And apparently not listening to O'Reiley means I'm sinning
Maybe my local affiliate will fix this mess
Well, they might if they stop reporting about murder and rape
Hey, sex and violence sell more or less
To save this media cesspool we need some superhero with a cape
There's no need to fear! The bloggers are here!
Of course, this is the same Internet with gay furry bukkake porn
So it's hard to take seriously facts from the Dailywonkette about Bush being queer
So don't mind me while I blow the skeptic's horn
Or maybe I'll turn to music to tell me what to think
But I'm not sure if I can take politics from Destiny's Child
And I don't know if I can Rock the Vote without the missing link
At least P Diddy's Vote or Die message was nice and mild
So I decided to turn to high culture to get my fix
All that did was put me in the upper class mix
So this is art they say, it's symbolic of a metaphor for pain
All I see is a bunch of random shapes that cause my respect to wane
