***CAPO 1***
RHETT&LINK
Hank do you remember when all of Georgia fled
that flood that left thousands homeless and seven dead
But while those people drowned and their houses went adrift
The news was all about Kanye west....and Taylor swift
HANK
RHETT&LINK, where I really see the news media failin
every time anyone mentions...Sarah Palin
They dispatch a dozen camera crews every time she poos
While I can t escape the feeling she s just not news
RHETT & LINK
And the swine flu, while a killer, got more love than it needed
Killing 4,000 people while the normal flu, unheeded
Kills 60,000 people year in and year out
People like to have something to freak out about
HANK
And what about Michael Phelps marijuana scandal
Just one picture and the media flew off their handle
He did the exact same thing as our last three presidents
I don t think our priorities make much sense
ALL
So Many important things happened this year friend
Iran s Election and Mass Recession and Obama sworn in
But to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb
R&L: And we can only hope that we re not the only ones
Hank: yes, we can only hope that we re not the only ones.
HANK
I don t think the crappy news gets any better than
The scandals of Tiger Woods and David Letterman
It turns out rich guys cheat on their wives
That wasn t news in the year twenty five
RHETT&LINK
And one of the biggest stories of the whole entire year
Is that Susan Boyle could sing and bring an audience to tears
With all the pretty people auto-tuned, we forgot
You don t have to be hot to The talent Britain s got
HANK
And I still laugh any time I see some poor braggart
Proudly holding up a sign proclaiming he s a tea bagger
Besides any confusion about the revolution
I think no matter what they mean the news was an illusion
ALL
So Many important things happened this year friend
Iran s Election and Mass Recession and Obama sworn in
But to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb
R&L: And we can only hope that we re not the only ones
Hank: yes, we can only hope that we re not the only ones.
HANK: And I think we three can all agree, the biggest load of poo
R&L: Was that balloon boy falcon who was not in the balloon
HANK: Just another year where we kept the world alive
R&L: We didn t pay attention but we somehow didn t die
ALL
So Many important things happened this year friend
Iran s Election and Mass Recession and Obama sworn in
But to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb
All: And we can only hope that we re not the only ones
All: yes, we can only hope that we re not the only ones.
But since they re still reporting it...we just might be
the only ones.
Nerdfighters, much...?
