Power to the Press

On Friday Germany's Bundespräsident Christian Wulff had a quick meeting with the Chancellor Angela Merkel. Then a press conference was called and he stood down from his post.  He had been the media's darling...but after a few scandalous deals and cover-up attempts involving Wulff and some of his high end friends, the press changed their tune and very publicly downgraded him.

Lyrics:
It was a cold February day, as they took your powers away
She said "You'd best step down, or we'll bring you down
You'd best step down because they bought you down"
On the radio, On the radio, On the radio, On the radio

Oh what do you hear? And what do you fear?
Now the President's gone from his house on the lawn.

On the radio, On the radio, On the radio, On the radio

If you cross the Press, they'll bring you down faster
Bring you down in shame, and again
Your high end friends, their money can't save you
They'll shoot you down in shame, and again.
