Life with the Macbeths

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All the dreaming and scheming and playing games Are enough to draw millions each week the same Same station, same time, new feuds [Verse 2] While a rating of "R" may be generous All that blood and ambition so onerous Our public, the public, enthused [Refrain 1] Life with the Macbeths is now on view [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] As the Lady inspires me to depths unseen Killing all in my way, some will yell "obscene" The ratings are off the charts [Refrain 2] Life with the Macbeths, both tart and smart [Interlude] Our public, the public, enthused [Bridge] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Refrain 3] Life with the Macbeths is sure to score Life with the Macbeths is sure to score
