Bob wrote about Fox News before there was a Fox News
You gotta lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
You gotta lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna be on the side that's winnin'

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

Bob

5. So Did Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa also wrote a song about corporate television that I think is even more apropos today. I believe that the chorus went:

"I am the slime from your video / Oozing along on your living room floor..."

7. "Didn't have no dope or LSD...
But a couple of quarts of beer /
Would fix it so the intonation /
Would not offend your ears."

Joe's Garage
(Watch out for the Central Scrutinizer!)
