This is TV 9 Action News
And now
The action news team
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Broadcasting live downtown
Reporting urgently
From what appears to be the scene
Of a level three emergency
The police have arrived
And have the area surrounded
As we listen in to hear the report
From people shouting
[Tribe One]
All units
Ready your units
Stand-by to listen
Alpha team
Are you on the roof?
(sniper's in position)
When you have a clear shot lined up
I'll give the go ahead
Be ready to fire your rifle
When he shows his head
[Adam WarRock]
We're now confirming
A single man stands at the bomb site
Debris falls from the sky
Helicopters light up the night
[Tribe One]
Back the people up
Clear the scene
And seal the area
[Adam WarRock]
It's a conspiracy to feed hysteria
[Adam WarRock?]
Bravo team
Standing by
With a roof-top view
[Tribe One]
Alpha team
Repeat transmission
I think we lost you
[Adam WarRock]
Stay tuned for live coverage
And huddle close
And we now return you
To your regularly scheduled program
[Chorus: Adam WarRock]
We now interrupt your regular broadcast
For a special bulletin
As the government tries to
(stop dat!)
The audience can't turn its eyes away
As you huddle around your speaker
For the latest update
We now bring to you
A special report
As the nation finds itself
Inside another world war
The audience can't turn its eyes away
As you huddle around your speaker
For the latest update
(static)
(A lot of uh...)
(static)
(trying to get a good vantage point...)
[Verse 2: Adam WarRock]
Go run home and tell your friends
Chicken little
That the sky is falling down
As the buildings turn to kindle
You're headed for mass destruction
Been there, did that
Kicked back with the wrong villain to fuck with
The news cast shows skies turn to gray
As the monuments explode
Like in independence day
And your father pours another drink
Mother's face is concerned
As they tuck their kids away
Still the coverage
Of rubble is double
For every huddle
Massive death
Is uncovered
So better grab your shovels
Elected leaders speak of
World peace ovations
And shows give instructions
For text message donations
[Tribe One/Demonos]
Citizens of earth
Heed my warning
As the power that i wield
Will make all you
Kneel before me
So keep a watch
On your television screen
Cause the terror
That i'm bringing
Is like none you've ever seen
[Chorus: Adam WarRock]
We now interrupt your regular broadcast
For a special bulletin
As the government tries to
(stop dat!)
The audience can't turn its eyes away
As you huddle around your speaker
For the latest update
We now bring to you
A special report
As the nation finds itself
Inside another world war
The audience can't turn its eyes away
As you huddle around your speaker
For the latest update
[Verse 3: Adam WarRock]
Stop the presses
We have desensitized ourselves
From sensation
Lost our senses over false pretenses
And have i forgot mention?
We're all henchmen with no grand villain
Women and grandchildren hold hands
Wishing the big, bad boogey man away
It's all in our heads
All bets called off
As we circle wagons around the dying city
What Henry Miller called
"the air conditioned nightmare"
Smell the Freon
As neon lights flash
Clash of the titans
As cable news blasts
Images you can't envision
In your wildest night terrors
B-roll as b-boys will be boys
Politicians speak as decoys
And the military perpetuates the
Pre-tempted[?] charade
And news casters make hand gestures
Sign language for networks
And those who stay glued
To the television set
Twenty four hour
News coverage
Can't rest
He who laughs loudest
Laughs best
So tune out the front page mess
And muddled black and white text
Here's the real story of what happens next
And now
