VANITY
EVERY STORY NEEDS A LITTLE COLOR
AND THIS STORY IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
WHAT IF THE MUGGER WAS ABOUT TO SMOTHER
HIS NEXT VICTIM, WHO IT’S YOUR MOTHER
IT’S YOUR JOB TO REVEAL AND UNCOVER
BEFORE THE MUGGER CAN HURT ANOTHER
YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE VIEWERS ATTENTION
MAKE THEM REALLY FEEL THE TENSION
IT HAS TO BE CLEAR THAT WE WANT APPREHENSION
SO THE OLE MUGGER IS PUT IN DETENTION
AND IT REALLY SHOULD GO WITHOUT HAVING TO MENTION
DO THE THING RIGHT, AND YOU’LL HAVE JOB ASCENSION
WHEN BREAKING NEWS BECOMES YOUR BEAT
YOU’VE GOTTA BE QUICK UPON YOUR FEET
WORK HARD TO BECOME A KNOWN ON THE STREET
A GAL WHO CAN HANDLE THE JOB AND IT’S HEAT
LEARN WHEN YOU HAVE TO LISTEN
AND WHEN YOU MUST SPEAK
AND YOU’VE GOT TO BE GOOD
IF YOU WISH TO EAT
SO, TAKE MY ADVICE
AVOID BEING NICE, IT’S A VICE
CRIMINALS MUST PAY THE PRICE
THEY TOOK A GAMBLE, ROLLED OF THE DICE
SURPRISE! SNAKE EYES!
DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY
THE PUBLIC WILL BE ROOTING
FOR YOU TO PUT THAT VILLAIN ON ICE
DO YOU SMELL THE SPICE?
IT’S LIFE’S SWEET PIE, COME TAKE A SLICE
VANITY
SHOW THEM BLOOD AND GUTS ALL OVER
IT’S THE WAY TO GRAB EXPOSURE
YOU ARE JUST ONE OF THE MANY EMOTERS ON TV FOR VIEWERS TO WATCH OR SWITCH OVER
MAKE THE NEWS A DRUG AND YOU THEIR DRUG ENFORCER
OR REPORT LIKE THE REST
READ SOME COPY FROM THE DESK
AND END UP IN FORECLOSURE
