[00:00.20] Watch the Show - M.Ward
[00:01.64]
[00:21.47] Good night to all you late night TV watchers,
[00:25.67]
[00:26.93] And let me say "good morning" to you all.
[00:30.91]
[00:32.62] At the sound of my voice
[00:35.08] Through this microphone line,
[00:38.46] Consider that your wake up call.
[00:41.69] Wake up call
[00:43.15]
[00:44.11] My name is Billy R. Burrows.
[00:48.32]
[00:49.91] I am not the man you think I am.
[00:53.82]
[00:56.03] Some mistake me for a writer,
[01:00.66]
[01:01.73] Some mistake me for another network man.
[01:05.65]
[01:07.20] I am the guy who has just hijacked this channel.
[01:12.06]
[01:13.02] This telecast is now under my control,
[01:16.95] My control
[01:18.82] And now that I have the chance
[01:21.74] To say what's on my mind,
[01:24.89] Let me tell you tales untold.
[01:32.69]
[01:42.12] For thirty years I've worked here at this TV station
[01:46.69]
[01:47.74] In an editing room no one has ever seen,
[01:51.21]
[01:53.11] Inserting laughter after every punch line,
[01:58.40]
[01:59.25] And gasping after every scream.
[02:03.13]
[02:05.21] But now I want you to give me back
[02:07.97] The years that I have wasted
[02:10.64]
[02:11.17] Staring at these television screens,
[02:14.94] Screens
[02:16.60] And now that I have your attention,
[02:20.89]
[02:22.00] Let me show you what I mean.
[02:32.09]
[02:39.40] As I remember back when I was in high school,
[02:43.79]
[02:45.40] I never thought I'd stoop so low.
[02:49.27]
[02:51.16] I thought I'd be the guy unmasking the clown,
[02:56.86] Not the guy out polishing his nose.
[03:01.12]
[03:02.67] So tomorrow on your way to work,
[03:06.22]
[03:08.26] Who'll be wearing the emperor's clothes?
[03:16.79] Watch the show.
[03:18.25]
[03:20.50] Emm...
[03:22.62] Watch the show.
[03:23.92]
[03:26.20] Emm...
[03:28.37] Watch the show.
[03:30.09]
[03:32.02] Emm...
[03:34.08] Watch the show.
