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 math and comprehension
I wish we'd paid some more attention to the detail
It's imperative for us to move on
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 math and comprehension
I wish we'd paid some more attention to the detail
It's 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 it so good
So good riddance to the lot of you
To the lot of you
All this math and comprehension
I wish we'd paid some more attention to the detail
It's imperative for us to move on
