lyrics

Be sure to read the Daily Reckless
If you want to keep in the know
You can digest it with your breakfast
Or listen to it on the go
It will be funny don't you worry

Every day now
There is a song
Topical or just
A singalong

All of the other online papers
Soaring aloft and far below
Lying to satisfy their readers
Truth is the seed the Reckless sows

Marketing ear worms for your journey
Making sure your commute's not dull
And it won't cost you a penny
Strictly non-reverential

Reviving the art of conversation
Singing new words to old tunes
Nevertheless communication
This is the gift you must not lose

Always in my head are the voices
'What song are you ruining now?'
Sometimes I wonder if they're real
'Are you sure that's funny now?'

Or is it my own imagination?
'Aren't you tired of doing this?'
Guilt is a wound that's hard to heal
'It's a cross you have to bear'
Could it be evil thoughts become me
'Tell us what you're thinking now'
Some things are better left unsaid

Magical moment
The spell is breaking
There is no light here
I'm in the wrong key
