If I Could Talk Like David Brinkley Lyrics
If I could talk like David Brinkley
man I'd have it made
those pauses while you wait for more
no-bullshit is conveyed
they don't make Brinkley's anymore
soon they'll all be dead and gone
replaced by those who had surgery
to look more like Paula Zahn
If I could talk like David Brinkley
and use a pen like him too
not as merely a jagged edge
with an agenda to pursue
but as a tool of honor
to find the truth that may lay
beyond the easy reach of those
who are paid to stay away
I just heard that he died today
I just heard that he died today
I hope he's listening now
I hope he's listening now
If I could talk like David Brinkley
and if I looked like him as well
CNN would never hire me
but then they can go to hell
I want my news from a man who lived
not to say "hey, look at me"
but one who said "no, look at them
they're the story don't you see?"
man I'd have it made
those pauses while you wait for more
no-bullshit is conveyed
they don't make Brinkley's anymore
soon they'll all be dead and gone
replaced by those who had surgery
to look more like Paula Zahn
and use a pen like him too
not as merely a jagged edge
with an agenda to pursue
but as a tool of honor
to find the truth that may lay
beyond the easy reach of those
who are paid to stay away
I just heard that he died today
I hope he's listening now
I hope he's listening now
and if I looked like him as well
CNN would never hire me
but then they can go to hell
I want my news from a man who lived
not to say "hey, look at me"
but one who said "no, look at them
they're the story don't you see?"
