Famous at Eleven
LIGHTS!
CAMERA!!
ACTION!!!
to twitch was the clerk's reaction,
a distraction to the man with the gun
the one with the hair trigger fun
and a mask over his face, he's the director
in this modern day play
You see, much like a production
this robbery and abduction has the key elements
to make that Prime Time-high relevant as it celebrates
the Inside Scoop on a nation's tragedy
he needs his LIGHTS and calls his que
then comes hoppin the flashin red and blue
who speed in to undo and unglue
this criminal's standoff that's gonna end too soon;
it's a cut-scene to his gun against her head,
the hostage '19-yr-old cheerleader, name still not said'
as he screams; he shouts, this girl in his hands is runnin low on the count
the police call in but prepare for their doubts
...and then comes in the parade
this media in charade that they care about the casualties of the game
they play their role; the all seeing eye
they take control of the CAMERA 's inside;
'Exclusive Footage' of the robber's on the scene
its the media that helps make trash like this sparkle and gleam
to bring in the testimony of a Child Psychiatrist
here to say that the reason our 'subject' is so pissed
is that his mom didn't hug him, and not the drugs that he sold them
that this thug was a product of his environment
and no more danger than his previous victimes are silent
so let's have a vigil, for our soldier in arms
we can't let this hardened fugitive suffer any harm
cuz he doesn't know what he feels,
we need the ratings from catchin his tears on 8mm reels
but our viewers dropped, and commercials popped,
we need this scene to have a dramatic stop
all this friction to erupt into ACTION the blazin' raisin of bullet-exchange-relation
like the end of Scarface, but with a news-anchor liason
they've got the angle, a perfect frame
ol' Carlos came runnin out to catch his 15 minutes of fame
to feel the burning glory of 356 semi-auto flurries
of lead and shrapnel diggin into his body like scalpel's
to leave this story's end no longer a question;
'the details can be seen on News4 @ eleven'
