Doesn’t make me proud
Verse 1
It’s like the news has gone paparazzi;
it’s a damn disgrace. 
It’s violence, sex and tragedy 
that they’re shoving in your face. 
They’re selling candy coated stories 
with saccharine sweet smiles, 
glorifying all that’s wrong 
to make their ratings rise.
Chorus 
I was watching the news today
and man it brought me down.
I don’t know how we came to this
but it sure don’t make me proud.
Verse 2
Only god knows where the truth has gone 
in this crazy life 
If it doesn’t make em money 
They’ll prefabricate a lie.
They’ve got a centerfold prostitute 
as anchor for the news. 
The focus of the broadcast 
is centered on her boobs.
Chorus 
I was watching the news today
and man it brought me down.
I don’t know how we came to this
but it sure don’t make me proud.
Verse 3
Has our morality gone bankrupt 
that we’ve sunk so low? 
Now even the national news 
is another sitcom show.
It’s the same successful formula 
used on all the hits.
Shake em up with violence
then show em her big tits.
Bridge 
Murderers and pedophiles 
wall street crocodiles
Transgender marriages
are topics worth their while.
Chorus 
I was watching the news today
and man it brought me down.
I don’t know how we came to this
but it sure don’t make me proud.
