Watch The Show - M Ward

Goodnight to all you late night TV watchers

And let me say good morning to you all

At the sound of my voice through this microphone line

Consider that your wake up call

My name is Billy R. Burroughs

I’m not the man you think I am

Some mistake me for a writer

Some mistake me for another network man

I am the guy who has just hijacked this channel

This telecast is now under my control

And now that I have the chance to say what’s on my mind

Let me tell you tales untold

For 30 years I’ve worked here at this TV station

In an editing room no one has ever seen

Inserting laughter after every punchline

And gasping after every scream

But now I want you to give me back

The years that I have wasted

Staring at these television screens

And now that I have your attention

Let me show you what I mean

Because I remember back when I was in high school

I never thought I’d stoop so low

I thought I’d be the guy on unmasking the clown

Not the guy out polishing his nose

So tomorrow on your way into work

Who will be wearing the emperor’s clothes?
