Prime Time Lyrics
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
If you skin the cat you can't take it back
You can make 'em wait but it's far too late
For a golden boy who is self-employed
As a patron saint to it I'll relate to a
Doctor's orders when on the floorboards
You keep from sleep as they rot and reek
After several weeks and a ratings sweep of the ocean floor
I have run ashore
Now the crowd is always fleeting
And the minutes of the meeting
Will be taken by a very shaky hand
If you're not around when it's written down
They'll be taking all the laughter from the can
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
But I'm over that since I've been through this
So I set the tape to catch what I miss
I hear wasn't much with the Midas touch
And the shallow end, we can swallow it
For my fleeting doubts but we'll play it out so we'll
Have it right by the second act
That's superfluous like the second verse
Of this telecast so I set the mast
To a steady course with a subtle force of an
Immigrant that would like to stay
Who's been sent away on a slow news day
If I never rated, it's just repeated
The screeners become addicts
And the Russian demographic
Loves a US way of making every meal
The Breakfast of Champions and
Like his victims, slowly getting soggy from the weight
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
A little self deception gets the best reception

When you can't stomach the primetime
Conflict is interesting
But tragedy's worth money
Well I'm sick and tired of the reality
So change the channel and show me something funny
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
A little self deception gets the best reception
When you can't stomach the primetime
When you can't stomach the primetime
When you can't stomach the primetime
When you can't stomach the primetime
When you can't stomach the primetime
