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 s*x 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
