media circus - by al wilsonThey're selling newspapers magazines DVD's and booksThey found themselves a suffering star to move merchandise from the shelvesCome see the clowns of journalism juggle truths into their mixed bag of liesHear the publishing ring master sing aloud and cry Hoopla!, Hoopla!, Hoopla! The media circus is back in town

See a 40lb steel ball chained to an innocent woman's legThis is an act some will say that really makes their showSee the innocent woman as she is dropped from the big top press roof into a pit of mud some fifty feet belowHoopla!, Hoopla!, Hoopla The media circus is back in town

See the stilt man and acrobats in action as they retrieve the inno-cent woman from the mudSee them fire her from a canon into a safety net of thornsWatch them strap the innocent woman to a table as she gets rushed to the cut a woman in half sawHear the ring master sing aloud and cryHoopla!, Hoopla!, Hoopla! The media circus is back in town

See the innocent women get tossed alive into the lions cage as the monkeys dance in time to fearSee the long arm freak of justice do a double back flip from the tra-peze above for youSee the heartless fingerless politician shake hands while they promise much much moreHurry! grab your pop corn with a drink to wash it downHoopla!, Hoopla!, Hoopla! The media circus is back in town.
