Hank do you remember when all of Georgia fled
F5
that flood that left thousands homeless and seven dead
G5
But while those people drowned and their houses went adrift
G5                                            C5
The news was all about Kanye west....and Taylor swift 

HANK
C5
RHETT&LINK, where I really see the news media failin
F5
every time anyone mentions...Sarah Palin
G5
They dispatch a dozen camera crews every time she poos
G5                                             C5                       
While I can't escape the feeling she's just not news 

RHETT & LINK
C5
And the swine flu, while a killer, got more love than it needed
F5
Killing 4,000 people while the normal flu, unheeded
G5
Kills 60,000 people year in and year out
G5                                            C5
People like to have something to freak out about 

HANK
C5
And what about Michael Phelps marijuana scandal
F5
Just one picture and the media flew off their handle
G5
He did the exact same thing as our last three presidents
G5                                        C5
I don't think our priorities make much sense 

ALL
F5                        C5
So Many important things happened this year friend
G5                                      C5
Iran's Election and Mass Recession and Obama sworn in
F5                                 C5
But to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb
           G5                                       C5
R&L: And we can only hope that we're not the only ones
             G5                                        C5
Hank: yes, we can only hope that we're not the only ones.

HANK
C5
I don't think the crappy news gets any better than
F5
The scandals of Tiger Woods and David Letterman
G5
It turns out rich guys cheat on their wives
G5                                    C5
That wasn't news in the year twenty five 

RHETT&LINK
C5
And one of the biggest stories of the whole entire year
F5
Is that Susan Boyle could sing and bring an audience to tears
G5
With all the pretty people auto-tuned, we forgot
G5                                                C5
You don't have to be hot to The talent Britain's got 

HANK
C5
And I still laugh any time I see some poor braggart
F5
Proudly holding up a sign proclaiming he's a tea bagger
G5
Besides any confusion about the revolution
G5                                                     C5
I think no matter what they mean the news was an illusion

      C5
HANK: And I think we three can all agree, the biggest load of poo
     F5
R&L: Was that balloon boy falcon who was not in the balloon
      G5
HANK: Just another year where we kept the world alive
     G5                                             C5
R&L: We didn't pay attention but we somehow didn't die

G5 
But since they're still reporting it...we just might be
          C5
the only ones.


Nerdfighters, much...?
