[M. Ward - Watch the Show lyrics]
And let me say good morning to you all
At the sound of my voice
Through this microphone line
Consider that your wake up call
My name is Billy R burroughs
I'm not the man you think I am
Some mistake me for a writer
Some mistake me for another network man
I am the guy who has
Just hijacked this channel
This telecast is now under my control
And now that I have the chance
To say what's on my mind
Let me tell you tales untold
For 30 years I've worked here
At this TV station
In an editing room no one has ever seen
Inserting laughter after every punchline
And gasping after every scream
But now I want you to give me back
The years that I have wasted
Staring at these television screens
And now that I have your attention
Let me show you what I mean
Because I remember back when I
Was in high school
I never thought I'd stoop so low
I thought I'd be the guy
On unmasking the clown
Not the guy out polishing his nose
So tomorrow on your way into work
Who will be wearing the emperor's clothes?
Watch the show
