Queen For a Day

'Have you heard the news?' He said.
'No what's the news?'
He said something inconceivable
with an appetite for more.
It was simplified and pasted
from that waste of space, publicity whore.

It went from Chinese whispers,
to fiction, to gospel truth;
in a matter of seconds,
as the ground swell grew,
'there was no time to check the facts,
there was no room for turning back' He Said,
with a look in his eyes we've come to despise.

All this maths and comprehension,
i wish we'd paid some more attention to the detail,
its imperative for us to move on.

Their eyes met in the back of the room,
between the lights and camera of the human zoo.
An amulet for a vegas bride,
queen for a day, tonight is your night.
This is your moment you can taste i so good.
So good riddance to the lot of you,
to the lot of you.

All this maths and comprehension,
i wish we'd paid some more attention to the detail,
its imperative for us to move on.
