                    Dadd9     Asus4
            I.  the president speaks.
                         Dadd9   Asus4
                hear the play-by-play:
                      Aadd9           Esus4
                "it's time for the commercial.
                   Aadd9          Esus4
                we have to break away."
                Dadd9           Asus4
                wall-to-wall narration
                Dadd9          Asus4
                tells what you missed.
                     Aadd9       Esus4
                with replays an' sound bites,
                     Aadd9        Esus4
                they give you the gist.


                       Aadd9           Bsus4       Aadd9   Bsus4
     CHORUS A:  what's wrong with this picture?
                F#sus4         C#m7    F#sus4      C#m7
                newsman in the way.
                       Aadd9           Bsus4       Aadd9   Bsus4
                what's wrong with this picture?
                         F#sus4      C#m7    F#sus4    C#m7
                he's got too much to say.


                     Dadd9        Asus4
           II.  it's time for the locals,
                    Dadd9      Asus4
                the media farm team.
                       Aadd9         Esus4
                Rip N. Reed quotes A.P.
                    Aadd9              Esus4
                his name blots out the screen.
                Dadd9     Asus4
                bulletins clutter
                Dadd9   Asus4
                network shows
                     Aadd9              Esus4
                with school boards, the mayor's health
                    Aadd9     Esus4
                and stupid promos.

                    Dadd9        Asus4
          III.  I'm watching the game:
                    Dadd9     Asus4
                the screen is filled
                     Aadd9        Esus4
                with close-ups of players
                   Aadd9      Esus4
                on green treadmills,
                Dadd9           Asus4
                crowd shots and mascots
                    Dadd9    Asus4
                and gossip galore.
                Aadd9        Esus4
                haven't they heard,
                Aadd9   Esus4
                less is more?

                goodbye, au revoir.
                Aadd9    Bsus4    Aadd9   Bsus4
                I am the master
                    F#sus4   C#m7    F#sus4   C#m7
                of  my   V C R.
