I'm a stone cold dummy with a perfect suntan,
a patched-up hurried man, the nonsense I spout
is the fate of the world, running out of time, racing through,
my career is at stake, I am the media man,
I surpass politics, I'm fast, real fast,
I'm a universal human comet.
I race through time, I am a reference,
I am ubiquitous, I become omniscient,
I took over a world I don't even know.
Never mind, I talk about it, never mind, I know all about it.
Mankind lying at my feet, eight billions of potential
enslaved morons, except some friends of mine
from the same walk of life.
If only you knew how merry they are!
Any taker for me and what's left of my brains?
Who wants to step into the web of my network?
A daily advocate of inhumanity,
of short term profits and toady media,
I'm a very rich man,
I'm in real estate,
I know how to do business, there are always takers.
I know everybody who is anybody, in Paris and elsewhere.
My own special gang
and their wives, that I1... hang out with, of course.
The stock exchange skinflints are generous with me2,
no more secrets3, I'm the king of kings.
Audience ratings going through the roof.
Well, what did you expect?
This is my destiny, this is my chance.
I just love TV broadcasts.
No time to watch them, but I'm producing them.
We spit food into these hungry eyes.
See how they beg for more, we know they crave
our filth, even better than pearls
before swine!
Any taker for me and what's left of my brains?
Who wants to step into the web of my network?
You know I am
a hurried man
a hurried man
a hurried man
I am
a hurried man
a hurried man
a hurried man
A daily advocate of inhumanity,
of short term profits and toady media,
I'm a very rich man,
I'm in real estate,
I know how to do business, there are always takers.
I race through time, I am ubiquitous,
I am a major reference,
I can always show off what I don't know.
II go fast, real fast, my career is at stake,
I am the media man,
I am surpassing politics
for I am
a hurried man
a hurried man
a hurried man
Aaah
a hurried man, that's what I am
a hurried man
a hurried man
I am a daily advocate of inhumanity,
of short term profits and toady media,
I'm a very rich man,
I'm in real estate,
I know how to do business, there are always takers.
Love, love , love they say in the US
Ljubov in former USSR
Amour all over France.
1. the rhyme hints at "que je nique" (that I bang)2. the French is more idiomatic, but the idea is that money goes to money3. that's about insider trading
