The right transmission
Eye of the camera´s watchin´ you
The confusion of a production
Will it be a lie or the truth?
Pace, commentary
Ability to say
What the viewer wants to hear
You´re the event of the day
You said your name
You said your name
So enjoy it fully
That´s your fifteen seconds of fame
The famous reporter
Lights his cigarette
A gesture to the camera man
You´re the event of the day
So smile for the camera!
Earthquake in the east
Calamity in the north
Disaster in the west
And war in the south
The right transmission
Eye of the camera´s watchin´ all
You never run before it
You´re powerless and small
Don´t say your name
Don´t say your name
But you want your fuckin´
Fifteen seconds of fame
The night TV-News
Mass-production of the truth
If you don´t believe
Big brother´s watchin´ you
So smile for the camera!
Model calls on the hungry
Take the child to her!
It looks fine, perfectly
Darling, push apart your hair
Director, I got a problem
Someone is in the shot
Kick out the fuckin´ nigger!
Darling, you must hug the child
You´ve got no name
You´ve got no name
You´re lying in the sand
No seconds of fame
Maybe if you were dead
That´s interesting for us
Bloody hole in your chest
And staring eyes
And ofcourse smile for the camera!
