Everyone does it Better

A Parody
with apologies to Marvin Hamlisch

Everyone does it better
Makes me feel glad for the rest
Nobody makes up half the crap you do
Baby you’re a mess.

I wasn’t lookin’ but the airport displayed you
I tried to hide from your dim light
But like the barnyard below me
The lies that bug me
Are flying out of CNN tonight

And nobody does it dumber
Though sometimes I think someone should
But nobody’s screws up quite the way you do
Its not right to think they could

The things that you’ve told me
Whatever you’ve told me
There’s some kind of reptile deep in you
It keeps me a’runnin’
Away from your drummin’
How’d you learn to play so bad?
 
Oh, and everyone does it better
Makes me feel glad for the rest
Nobody’s quite as big an ass as you
CNN you’re a mess
