Lyrics


BRANDS
Have you seen the numbers
In this new report
The ratings suck 
with profits in decline
There is only one last resort
We need the trendy next big thing

MOGUL
It seems they’ve tired of the show
About the dogs of chefs

BRANDS
So, Fe-fe’s got to go

And that craze
For hula dancing

MOGUL
I knew it wouldn’t last

BRANDS
Don’t forget the cop show where they 

BRANDS & MOGUL
Never caught the perp

MOGUL
They said it would be edgy

BRANDS
It barely had a quirk

MOGUL
That dramady about the skinhead nurse

BRANDS
Enough, it pains me to remember

BRANDS & MOGUL
We must address this disastrous report
The ratings suck 
with profits in decline
There is only one last resort
We need the trendy next big thing

What about Shamba, Animal Huntress
The pitch, the pitch sounded great

MOGUL
Strap a camera on the damn cat’s head
Then in real-time watch as she stalks her prey

BRANDS
Instead we got graphic shots

BRANDS & MOGUL
Of the Princess in her bed
With a hunky gardener by the name of Fred
With a hunky gardener by the name of Fred
With a hunky gardener by the name of Fred


BRANDS
Then came the lawyers

MOGUL
One thousand it seemed

BRANDS
Those legal costs sure

MOGUL
Hit the bottom line
Our…

BRANDS
Comedies ain’t funny
The…

MOGUL
Dramas have no soul
Re-

BRANDS
-ality’s there for free
So…

MOGUL
The sponsors flee

BRANDS & MOGUL
In the afternoon only Diva’s show
Is raking in big cash
In the afternoon only Diva’s show
Is raking in big cash
Big cash
Big cash
Big cash
Cash

MOGUL
Then there is the news

BRANDS
And you know that is sacred
To our way of life
Even at a net loss
It is surely worth the price

BRANDS & MOGUL
To keep society stable
It is crucial that we must
Maintain our vital role
As propagandists for the status quo
Status quo, quid pro quo
Status quo, quid pro quo
Quid pro quo, quid pro quo
Quid pro quo, quid pro quo
Quid pro quo, quid pro quo
Quid pro quo, quid pro quo
Quid pro quo, quid pro quo
