[Interlude: Alan Jones, Julia Gillard]
Myths, rumours, snide jokes and innuendos
You've been the butt of them many times
Well, I think that's probably right
We've certainly seen that this week
Can I test a few out?
In what way?
Tim's gay
Well
That's somebody saying it, that's a myth
Well, that's absurd
But you've h-you hear you it
He must be gay, he's a hairdresser
Ah, well, isn't that...
You've heard-but you've heard it
But, uh
It's not me saying it
[Verse 1: Prime]
They say I run this city, as far as I can tell
Between the hours of 9 and 12, I might as well
You see, they gave me their hearts so I took their minds as well
All of thesе companies love me for things that I could sеll
It's fair to say if I turn against you you're probably ruined
I talk to the leader and tell him how good a job he's doin'
Thank God he won the election, God, it was overdue
The public voted him in because I told 'em to
Interview a scientist (Louder!), disaster was a [?]
He's a charlatan, a bastard, that's regardless of the data
And that's the view I'll put across; if anyone in opposition
Rings me up, I'll tell 'em if they don't like it, then not to listen
See, I'm set up with lots of backers and lots of minions
If the other side wants to drop opinions - what opinions?
I was losin' a debate, their line just dropped off
Ha, this is a life of a shock jock
[Chorus: Prime]
I can take politics, news or wars
And give you an opinion that'll soon be yours
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
And even if you don't ever see my face
You do the wrong thing, I can seal your fate
There's no gettin' away from me (Yo)
There's no gettin' away from me
[Verse 2: Prime]
I've got an audience that longs for the good old days
When he could solve annoying problems in those good old ways
But those old ways are still used to keep things in order
They just can't see it and far be it for me to report it
But there's too much on the line to give 'em the story truthfully
I wanna take this land to a future of how it used to be
This refugee thing's pushin' the ratings beautifully
I mean, illegals, I say that at every opportunity
Look (Louder!), if we're nice to these people, this place is
Prob'ly ruined
I talk to the leader and tell him how good a job he's doin'
They're prob'ly dole-bludgers with nothin' to do
I know it's bad there but there's no excuse for jumpin' a queue
Another boat caught this mornin', that's the fifth straight one
But we will decide the circumstances in which they come
Go find some people we agree with for our Voxpop
Ha, this is a life of a shock jock
[Chorus: Prime]
I can take politics, news or wars
And give you an opinion that'll soon be yours
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
And even if you don't ever see my face
You do the wrong thing, I can seal your fate
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
[Bridge: Prime]
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
The one thing they never understand
Is that I get to hold 'em in my hand
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
There's no gettin' away from me
The one thing I never understood
Is that I never did 'em any good
Now it's gettin' away from me
[Verse 3: Prime]
I woke up and noticed what I am
A liar, an impostor, a rodent of a man
Who sold himself then told himself he owned it then got scammed
And ended up more influenced and hopeless than his fans
I tell myself I can't control it, but I can
I am big enough to help this place, not choke it like I am
We've done some terrible things and I coulda tried to stop it
But I put fuel to the fire of it and lined my pockets
Don't want my grandkids believin' I failed
They said when good men do nothing that's when evil prevails
Well, I can't say that I've been a man, not even a snail
And I let my train of thought become completely derailed
Well, today I'm gonna change that, today I'll take my name back
I let myself become lost, but now I found my way back
But, no, that isn't what the boss wants
This is a life of a shocker jock
[Outro]
(Louder!)
