[Verse 1]
I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
My lips are moving faster than
My mind can comprehend
I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
Some call me "Mr. McAly-Mouth," but think of me as friend
If you believe the things I tell you, I've a bridge or two to sell you
And since I've cut my intake down, my liver's on the mend
'Cause I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening, and here's what's new

[Chorus]
Isn't it awfully nice to live in a world where everything's exactly how it seems?
We live in a world where all you have to do is sit around and dream
About the things that make ya happy
About the things that make ya smile
Lay back, relax, apathy's back in style!

[Verse 2]
I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
And I firmly execute every word I say
I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
Only 6% of America thinks that I am gay
If you believe the things I tell you, I've a bridge or two to sell you
And if you see the spider, don't spill your curds and whey
'Cause I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening, and here's what's new
[Chorus]
Isn't it awfully nice to live in a world where everything's exactly how it seems?
We live in a world where all you have to do is sit around and dream
About the things that make ya happy
About the things that make ya smile
Lay back, relax, apathy's back in style!

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Isn't it awfully nice to live in a world where everything's exactly how it seems?
We live in a world that stokes you in the fire to build up steam
We live in a world where all you have to do is sit and dream
About the things that make ya happy
About the things that make ya smile
Lay back, relax, apathy's back in style!
Apathy's back in style!

[Outro]
I'm David Makalaster, your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening, and here's what's new!
