ANNOUNCER
Live from the Citadel of Truth
The day’s news with Baron Anchor

ANCHOR
Today we begin with a story of grave importance
In a spectacular display, the southern village of Kali
Spontaneously burst into flames
Amazingly no reported injuries
The homeless villagers were relocated
To the Big Bite Cafeteria
Where they rest in surprisingly clean
Booths and banquettes
Kali is the fifth self-igniting village
Since the Great Heat Wave began…

MOGUL
These are numbers and
This is what they can do for you
Concealing details
Of profit and gain

BRANDS
Hiding my secrets
Again and again and again and again
I make those numbers work for me
Obscuring the big hush-hush

BRANDS & MOGUL
Business is sometimes a gamble
But who needs the risk when we can fix the odds
Banking all the bounty that we
Skim from the top because we rigged this game

We loot your numbers
Cross referenced in our database
There is nothing we don’t know
About what you buy, how much you pay
Who you ring up when you talk on the phone
What you love and you hate

We’ve got your number, got you pegged
Where you went Monday night
No secrets no confidential
Dates with that sleaze-ball who met you online
Take a number stand in our line
We’ll let you pretend your thoughts are your own

ANCHOR
…In the latest financial news
Anonymous sources confirm that
Consolidated Media
Will announce a massive decline
In revenues from ad sales
Expected to fall sixty percent
Their financial report
Will be released next Friday

BRANDS
Holy shit what was that

MOGUL
Holy crap this is bad

BRANDS & MOGUL
What Anchor says, always becomes true
What Anchor says becomes true, what can we do?
He’s getting dodgy in the head
Who can tell what he’ll say next
His mental state has been going downhill
For several months
'Bout time that he retires

BRANDS
Anchor’s stubborn, he’ll never leave

MOGUL
Appeal to greed, offer a bribe

BRANDS & MOGUL
Call it a token of appreciation
Which we can only grant upon termination

MOGUL
Major, I will see to this
Anchor will say bye-bye
