| They're gonna win most popular forever | |
| Vote or award does it even matter? | |
| The politician or actress | |
| Such a mess | |
| Who is who? | |
| Cause I can't tell the difference | |
| So what's the poor boy to do? | |
| Except be sick of you | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Starstruck, stripped of our stripes | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Dumbstruck guttersnipes | |
| The camera loves their every grin | |
| Such a sin | |
| Beat the drums till | |
| The whole country wakes up | |
| That'd be a wonderous, thunderous day | |
| Dream away | |
| We're enraptured | |
| Captured by the linelight | |
| So what's the poor boy to do? | |
| Except be sick of you | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Starstruck, stripped of our stripes | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Dumbstruck guttersnipes | |
| [solo: Ed] | |
| They get away with murdering | |
| In vain I sing | |
| With stupid smiles | |
| We'll grant THEM all a pardon | |
| So what's the poor boy to do? | |
| Except be sick of you | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Starstruck, stripped of our stripes | |
| In total obfuscation, this damn nation | |
| Dumbstruck guttersnipes |
