Life with the Macbeths

[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
