Power to the Press

By oceans universum amazonas on February 19, 2012 10:25 pm

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.

Excellent!

Hehe, I enjoy the juxtaposition of the happy song vibe and the actual lyrics.

It makes me so happy to hear other people singing on here. Nice work!

You're two people! Thought it was just princes (princesses) alone in the studio on weekly beats smile Listened to this and arabische natchte so far and they both are great - instant appeal. And here comes goldman sachs. Excellent.

So fantastic!  I think this is my favorite of your tracks so far.  smile

Awwwww. Shucks! Thanks so much everybody! Such lovely comments. Makes us both very, very yikes then very smile
