Story Behind The Song

punchline to a joke

Song Description

don't believe everything you see or hear

Lyrics

(It's) Gotta Be True

Too many people
With nothin' to say
But for the masses
They'll say it anyway
Too much access
Nobody gets caught
They're paid to deliver
They're dyin' to be bought

Plausible sources
Better plan your day
Stunning litigation
Let's say it anyway
Better open a window
Better get me a beer
If it's on at six
Well, I'll be right here

Chorus:
It's got to be true
If it's on TV
You know it's gotta' be true
If it's on TV

Too much info
Just ain't a good thing
Can you hear me now?
A familiar ring (Good!)
Stare at the madness
And the madness stares at chu
Bug-eyed at the video
It's just what we do!

Chorus:
It's got to be true
If it's on TV
You know it's gotta' be true
If it's on TV

Osama's cookin' tofu dogs
On his Joe Forman grill
Letterman is hyp-no-tized
And we've got time to kill
CNN's got Broadway Joe
Pantyhose from head to toe
CNBC is love and death
I got Ron Popeil on my TV set
Diode noise & cathode ray
Tryin' to think of what to say
Boomin', bangin', ringin', clangin'
Back to studio, howz it hangin'
Talking head and evil eye
Bouffant hairdo, pumpkin pie
Live remote, the line's gone dead
Hammer nails into my head.
