David Makalaster II Lyrics

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And the shit has
Just hit the fan

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
There's a scrouge
Trampin' cross our land

The film I'm about to show you
Will fill and overflow you
With a rage that's
Beyond command

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and
Here's what's new

Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems

But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams

About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And perhaps you didn't
Hear me right

I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Every man Jack of you
Should volunteer to fight

If I were only ten years younger
I'd slake this vengeful hunges
And rest assured we'd all
Sleep safe tonight

This is David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and God bless you

Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems

But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams

About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style

this seems to be a counterpoint to the first david makalaster song. pretty much a straightforward song. stand up and fight

To me, it's about being controlled by the media. Some guy telling you that you should be enraged and you should go out and fight, but you're not really enraged and maybe you shouldn't go out and fight.

Its a about media influence in both direction, one direction is candy coat, in a way i think it's more about conversative media ex: Fox News. Whereas the other song, DMII, is more geared to liberal media ex: MSNBC. So I guess I basically agree with 408 haight and Polaris589, yes it's a counter point, but... Well, Polaris fills in from there. My take on the song anyways. Remeber this is a concept album, compare the duo to Whamola. After all the song title is DMII, that's significant.
