Disaster
Disaster
We report faster
Watch the ticker
Don't check the time

This news just in
Her prospects are grim
Murder and war
Now look at this puppy
And come back for more

They're missing
It's tragic
Aliens!
Magic!

Disaster
Disaster
It pays to pretend
To care

I agree with Oona about getting lost just a little bit. I really like the rhythm you have; it's like a chant. I mean, I'm sitting in math right now and I wanted to say it out loud just so my tongue could bask in the words. It was very crisp. The vibe that I got from it? Our new system is ADD and very vague. Good job.

I like the beat in this, it's steady and stays true. The meaning behind it is clever and original :)
