King of Comedy (808 State remix – instrumental) Songtext
von R.E.M.

Make your money with a suit and tie
Make your money with shrewd denial
Make your money expert advice

If you can wing it
Make your money with a power ply
Make your money with a buyout bribe
You can lie
As long as you mean it

I′m not the king of comedy
Grease the pig, give a squeeze (squeeze me)
I'm not king of comedy
Grease the pig, give a squeeze (squeeze me)

Make your money with exploitation
Make it holy with illumination
Say a prayer at every station
Don′t forget to ask for mercy


Make your money with a pretty face
Make it easy with product placement
Make it charged with controversy
I'm straight, I'm queer, I′m bi

I′m not the king of comedy
I'm not your magazine
I am not your television
Television

Make your money, make it rich
Make it young and make it quick
Make your money on the jukebox, baby
It′s pick up sticks
Make your enemies make your moves
Make your critics fumble through
Make it smart, make it schmooze

Make it look easy

I'm not the king of comedy
I′m not your magazine
I am not your television
I'm not your movie screen
I′m not commodity

(All together now)
I am not commodity
