Fix your makeup fix your hair just right
We're all waiting to hear what the news is tonight
Remove yourself from the suffering
Through the camera it all looks the same
The camera keeps moving but the suffering remains
She said

Should have been sexy
You'd be on tonight
Could have been sexy
But not tonight

You look so good
I believe everything you say
The general smiles briefly
And the flies on the children are the stars today
You bring hope for a moment
But not long enough to make a change
The camera keeps moving but the suffering remains
She said

Should have been sexy
You'd be on tonight
Could have been sexy
But not tonight

Nothing's changed in Haiti (That was sexy for a minute)
Nothing's changed in South Africa (That was sexy for a minute)
Nothing's changed with Indian treaties (That ain't never been sexy)
