---David Roth

I’m sorry, I don’t care if Paris went to jail
If the truth be told, that’s not what I call news
What a wealthy woman does to get attention
Isn’t worth the cost of ink the papers use

And I’m sorry Anna Nicole had such a troubled life
I wish some respite for her family and her friends
But there are other stories fallen by the wayside
That these distractions somehow manage to transcend

There is a war, there is deception
I will not be misdirected by denial
I will give my attention
To the people hanging on for their survival

And I’m sorry American Idol is more popular
Than the history channel, books, or PBS
Some kind of commentary on our modern culture
When so many care what Simon would express

With Angelina and her boyfriend country-hopping
Grabbing kids from every corner of the globe
While I respect the altruism of their actions
I don’t need too see the footage or the photos

There is war, deception
I will not be misdirected by denial
I will give my attention
To the people hanging on for their survival

The people hanging on for their survival
