The Show
Unveiling Truths: The Provocative Saga of 'The Show'
Lyrics
Can you believe it, have you heard the news today?
Expressing surprise or disbelief about recent news, prompting the listener's attention.
There's nothing there but I have got a lot to say
Despite apparent emptiness, the speaker has important things to communicate.
Don't ask no questions, just receive what I imply
Discouraging questions, urging acceptance of implied messages without inquiry.
It's not my problem if you end up hypnotized
Declaring detachment from consequences if the listener becomes captivated or influenced.
Gonna start the show
Announcing the commencement of a performance or display.
Won't get the answers that we don't want you to know
Warning that certain information will be withheld, controlling the narrative.
I'm gonna make a scene
Committing to creating a dramatic or attention-grabbing situation.
It's gotta be done to get the fuel in the machine
Justifying the necessity of creating a spectacle to keep a process running smoothly.
My standards double as each passing day goes by
Highlighting increasing personal standards over time.
I'm backed by the finest science that money can buy
Asserting reliance on high-quality science supported by financial resources.
I'll feign confusion 'til those thoughtless prayers are past
Pretending confusion until insincere prayers or requests are over.
You've got my vote but you have got to pay in cash
Expressing support but requiring payment in cash, implying a transactional nature.
Gonna start the show
Reiterating the start of a performance or event.
I couldn't tell ya how the bar got down that low
Claiming ignorance about how a situation deteriorated to a low point.
Call it obscene
Labeling an action as indecent, but justifying it for the sake of maintaining a process.
It's gotta be done to get the fuel in the machine
Reemphasizing the necessity of creating a spectacle for operational purposes.
Come see the show
Inviting the audience to witness the ongoing performance without facing consequences.
No consequences, I'll go far as I can go
Ensuring no repercussions while pushing personal boundaries as far as possible.
Now can't you see?
Suggesting that the more privileged one is, the less incentive there is for the speaker.
The better off you are, the less they offer me
Explaining the speaker's motivation, influenced by what is offered or provided.
Come play the game
Encouraging participation in a game where blame-shifting is the ultimate goal.
My job ain't done 'til you find someone else to blame
Defining the speaker's role as incomplete until someone else is found to blame.
What I incite
Teasing the emotional response that will be provoked by the speaker's actions.
You'll feel again when I come back tomorrow night
Hinting at a return for another captivating performance the following night.
