Tick, tick, tick (alternative ending)

Tick, Tick Tick, Tick
(alternative ending)

Where were you today, "60 Minutes"
When our citizen's ran with pride

Yeah, you wanted to show, "Detroit"
but just not that side

 You wanted the broken city
 the war torn place, the place of pity 

where I guess, we bide our time
waiting to be victim's of violent crime

But your tales are "Ruin Porn"
A gouge in the gut by the Devil's horn

Pseudo journalism
that's not too witty

Truth be told
 it's trite and shitty

Recycled 
"Flat Earth News"

"Churnalism" 
If you choose

to quote phases
by Nick Davies

Yeah, you wanted 
stray dogs and cracked out babies

No beautiful riverfront
No Midtown

Just a gory stunt

A one-sided story 
Of a people with no hope, 
 and no glory

No creative class
Or young professions back in the city, at last

No neighborhood rejuvenation
No investments by new companies or organizations

Just the "Midwest's Somalia", line
Yeah, "Bob Simon", We know your kind

 of journalism is devoid of substance and wealth
You and 60 Minutes can, both, go F*ck yourselves
