Common Rotation - Prime Time lyrics
Your rating:
A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime If you skin the cat you can't take it back You can make 'em wait but it's far too late For a golden boy who is self-employed As a patron saint to it I'll relate to a Doctor's orders when on the floorboards You keep from sleep as they rot and reek After several weeks and a ratings sweep of the ocean floor I have run ashore Now the crowd is always fleeting And the minutes of the meeting Will be taken by a very shaky hand If you're not around when it's written down They'll be taking all the laughter from the can A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime But I'm over that since I've been through this So I set the tape to catch what I miss I hear wasn't much with the Midas touch And the shallow end, we can swallow it For my fleeting doubts but we'll play it out so we'll Have it right by the second act That's superfluous like the second verse Of this telecast so I set the mast To a steady course with a subtle force of an Immigrant that would like to stay Who's been sent away on a slow news day If I never rated, it's just repeated The screeners become addicts And the Russian demographic Loves a US way of making every meal The Breakfast of Champions and Like his victims, slowly getting soggy from the weight A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime Conflict is interesting But tragedy's worth money Well I'm sick and tired of the reality So change the channel and show me something funny A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime A little self deception gets the best reception When you can't stomach the primetime When you can't stomach the primetime When you can't stomach the primetime When you can't stomach the primetime When you can't stomach the primetime
