Life With The Macbeths - Sparks

All the dreaming and scheming and playing games

Are enough to draw millions each week the same

Same station, same time, new feuds

While a rating of «R» may be generous

All that blood and ambition so onerous

Our public, the public, enthused

Life With The Macbeths is now on view

As the cameras are rolling, we roll our eyes

But our lifestyle demands that we hide our sighs

One season, that’s all you’ll see

As the Lady inspires me to depths unseen

Killing all in my way, some will yell «obscene»

The ratings are off the charts

Life With The Macbeths, both tart and smart

Our public, the public, enthused

Ambition leads to murder

A royal reign of terror

The critics split in fervor

Some not that into murder

Is there a deeper story?

Or is it only gory?

Strong woman prods her husband

And then regrets what’s coming

Are we both to survive, well, you’ll have to wait

Maybe yes, maybe no, what we can, though, state

Each murder, the ratings soar

Life With The Macbeths is sure to score
