The viewing figures will mark a new record
Tonight they have a special report
A prison escapee out on the highway
Live on air: cops, guns and blood

Thrill and suspense
Truth can be so flexible Freedom of speech
No matter if it's fact or fiction

A politician with drugs in a whorehouse
Or suicides hung in a church
An insane madman eating his own guts
Essential is what the public wants

What do we want?
Headlines, sensations!
What do we want?
We yearn for

Condemnation!
Newspapers and TV-shows
Condemnation! Nation!

Condemnation! Nation!
All our dignity is lost

A commentator is spreading just rumours
Celebrities mistreat their kids
Malicious libel in everyday life
Defamation sells and you'll buy

Thrill and suspense
Truth can be so flexible
Freedom of speech
Don't matter if it's fact or fiction

A politician with drugs in a whorehouse
Or suicides hung in a church
An insane madman eating his own guts
Essential is what the public wants

What do we want?

All our dignity is lost

You're guilty in the eyes of the public
They don't care what judges say
Your honour shall be taken from you
Forever stigmatised
