[Verse 1]
ETonight at tAen
The world's ending aC#mgain
And we know why and wBhen
So you better wEatch
We got a bAit
With some feminist cC#mhick
And also a piBcture
Of a Scarlet's crEotch
Two people dAied
A double homiC#mcide
Their bodies found insBide
Of a wishing wEell
And we tackle the flAaws
In these obesity lC#maws
In this segment that's spBonsored
By Taco BEell
[Bridge 1]
We've got viAolence,
Danger, sC#mex, and drugs
And it's aBwesome
'Cause all of it's rEeal
We do the iAllusion of news
And while yC#mou think
You're choosing the vBiews
(No Chord)
That you feel
[Chorus]
AAll of this and more and live, Bonly on the Channel Five
ENews, C#mews, eG#mws,
G#mOnly on the Channel Five (Repeat chorus starting from "Only" three more times)
(Spoken: "We've got Chip Walker, live at the scene, with breaking news! Chip, are you there?")
[Verse 2]
EChip Walker heAre
Am I coming in clC#mear?
I'm standing nBear
To the scene of the crEime
This Iraqi guy's shAop
Seemed a newsworthy sC#mpot
So we've been gathering shBots here
For quite some tEime
Today real fAast
The owner's daughter pC#massed
We grabbed a shot of her Bass
While the owner was nEear
Then he struck my cheAst
And now he's under arC#mrest
And now you people have Bone less
Man to fEear
[Bridge 2]
This family's aAngry, crying,
C#mSad, and lost
And it's aBwesome
'Cause all of it's rEeal
We do the iAllusion of news
And while yC#mou think
You're choosing the vBiews
(No Chord)
That you feel
[Chorus]
AAll of this and more and live, Bonly on the Channel Five
ENews, C#mews, eG#mws,
G#mOnly on the Channel Five (Repeat chorus starting from "Only" three more times)
(Spoken: "We now go to Max Stevens, with the weather for the weekend. What are we looking at here,
Max: umbrellas or picnic baskets?...Max?...Max!?"
(Continue playing the E, C#m, G#m, G#m while saying:
"We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by.")
(Spoken: "Alright, we got a signal. Cut to Max.")
[Verse 3]
Good evening, hEi
It's your weather C#mguy
I advise you to D#buy
Another lightning rG#mod
We didn't cEatch
This impending disC#master
Maybe it's nD#atural
Maybe it's GG#mod
The sliding mEud
The incoming flC#mood
Will never wash the blD#ood
From my greedy old hG#mands!
This job was fEun
I had a pretty good rC#mun
But I've never been oD#ne
To give into demG#mands
[Bridge 3]
People are Eangry, crying,
C#mSad, and lost
And it's aD#wful
'Cause all of it's rG#meal
We do the iEllusion of news
And while yC#mou think
You're choosing the vD#iews
That you feel
D#All of this and more all live
D#Only on the Channel Five,
D#Only on the Channel Five
D#On-on-on-WE'RE BACK!
[Chorus starting at "News"]
(Continue playing the E, C#m, G#m, G#m while saying: "Bla, bla, bla" and begin to fade out.
 Or just stop on a E with one last "Only on the Channel Five news", that's what I usually do!)

[Verse 1]

E A

Tonight at ten

C#m

The world's ending again

And we know why and when

So you better watch

We got a bit

C#m

With some feminist chick

And also a picture

Of a Scarlet's crotch

Two people died

C#m

A double homicide

Their bodies found inside

Of a wishing well

And we tackle the flaws

C#m

In these obesity laws

In this segment that's sponsored

By Taco Bell

[Bridge 1]

We've got violence,

C#m

Danger, sex, and drugs

And it's awesome

'Cause all of it's real

We do the illusion of news

C#m

And while you think

You're choosing the views

(No Chord)

That you feel

[Chorus]

A B

All of this and more and live, only on the Channel Five

E C#m G#m

[Verse 2]

E A

Chip Walker here

C#m

Am I coming in clear?

I'm standing near

To the scene of the crime

This Iraqi guy's shop

C#m

Seemed a newsworthy spot

So we've been gathering shots here

For quite some time

Today real fast

C#m

The owner's daughter passed

We grabbed a shot of her ass

While the owner was near

Then he struck my chest

C#m

And now he's under arrest

And now you people have one less

Man to fear

[Bridge 2]

This family's angry, crying,

C#m

Sad, and lost

And it's awesome

'Cause all of it's real

We do the illusion of news

C#m

And while you think

You're choosing the views

[Verse 3]

Good evening, hi

C#m

It's your weather guy

I advise you to buy

G#m

Another lightning rod

We didn't catch

C#m

This impending disaster

Maybe it's natural

G#m

Maybe it's God

The sliding mud

C#m

The incoming flood

Will never wash the blood

G#m

From my greedy old hands!

This job was fun

C#m

I had a pretty good run

But I've never been one

G#m

To give into demands

[Bridge 3]

People are angry, crying,

C#m

Sad, and lost

And it's awful

G#m

'Cause all of it's real

We do the illusion of news

C#m

And while you think

You're choosing the views

That you feel

All of this and more all live

Only on the Channel Five,

Only on the Channel Five

On-on-on-WE'RE BACK!
