Tom broke all* records to bring us the news
Of every politician and everyone he screws
It ain`t about me and it ain`t about you
But without world disasters what would Dan rather* do
And who pays those speakers their royal fee
It`s you and me, baby, it`s you and me
Cheer the second baseman earning 19 grand a day
Get that mother of three small kids and take the welfare away
She`s only lazy, making babies by the TV -- who needs her
She can`t entertain us or hit .293
But who pays the player that royal fee
It`s you and me, baby, it`s you and me
What we see ain`t what we get
The poor don`t smile and the rich don`t sweat
The harder I work the deeper my debt
What we see ain`t what we get
(Music & lyrics by Delon Dotson; 1992 Delon Dotson)
