Watch The Show - M. Ward

Written by：M. Ward
Good night to all you late night TV watchers
And let me say good morning to you all
At the sound of my voice
Through this microphone line
Consider that your wake up call
Wake up call
My name is Billy R.Burrows
I am not the man you think I am
Some mistake me for a writer
Some mistake me for another network man
I am the guy who has just hijacked this channel
This telecast is now under my control
My control
And now that I have the chance
To say what's on my mind
Let me tell you tales untold
For thirty years I've worked here at this TV station
In an editing room no one has ever seen
Inserting laughter after every punch line
And gasping after every scream
But now I want you to give me back
The years that I have wasted
Staring at these television screens
Screens
And now that I have your attention
Let me show you what I mean
As I remember back when I was in high school
I never thought I'd stoop so low
I thought I'd be the guy unmasking the clown
Not the guy out polishing his nose
So tomorrow on your way to work
Who'll be wearing the emperor's clothes
Watch the show
Emm
Watch the show
Emm
Watch the show
Emm
Watch the show
