Give The People What They Want

Hey, hey, hey... 
Give the people what they want 
Well, it's been said before, the world is a stage 
A different performance with every age. 
Open the history book to any old page 
Bring on the lions and open the cage. 
Give the people what they want 
You gotta give the people what they want 
The more they get, the more they need 
And every time they get harder and harder to please 
The Roman promoters really did things right. 
They needed a show that would clearly excite. 
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight 
Threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night 
Give the people what they want 
You gotta give the people what they want 
The more they get, the more they need 
And every time they get harder and harder to please 
Give 'em lots of ***, perversion and rape 
Give 'em lots of violence, and plenty to hate 
Give the people what they want 
Give the people what they want 
When Olswald shot Kennedy, he was insane 
But still we watch the re-runs again and again 
We all sit glued while the killer takes aim 
"Hey Mom, there goes a piece of the president's brain!" 
Give the people what they want 
You gotta give the people what they want 
Blow out your brains, and do it right 
Make sure it's prime time and on a Saturday night. 
You gotta give the people what they want 
You gotta give the people what they want 
Give the people what they want 
Give the people what they want 
Give the people what they want
