Primecrime on primetime

The updates of the anchorman
And Reuter's breaking news
Information fills the waves
With different points of view

The breakfast table, battleground
Surplus overload
No matter what is on the screen
We hammer on and on

SEE THE PRIMECRIME ON PRIMETIME
THAT IS THE LIFESTYLE ON T.V.
SEE THE PRIMECRIME ON PRIMETIME
ANOTHER DEADLINE (Headline) ON THE SCREEN

A hijack and a bomber's car
A killer going free
A multimillion bank account
Simply disappeared

A tanker lost and run aground
A train came off the track
An innocent just standing by
A victim of attack SEE THE PRIMECRIME ON PRIMETIME
THAT IS THE LIFESTYLE ON T.V.
SEE THE PRIMECRIME ON PRIMETIME
ANOTHER DEADLINE (Headline) ON THE SCREEN

OH!
NO!
YES!
MORE!

The flooding of our heritage
Hurricanes at sea
Mighty mountains detonate
For all the world to see

Ignoring all catastrophes
Until it's at your door
Microphone and cameraman
You're the news at four
