"True Crime" lyrics

"True Crime"

Who got impaled dismembered and died in a ditch
Who got ground up into burgers by the neighborhood witch
Who got kidnapped on vacation
Never reached their destination
True crime sucks and dying's a bitch

True crime
Cheap high
Tell me how them people died
Give me all the dirty detail and all of the gore
I know they're all pretty dead but could they die some more?
True crime
Cheap high
What colors Jeffrey Dahmer's eyes
True crime keep me distracted from the real-time crime and the war

Now, there's a stream of revenue
Made by folks like me and you
Commodifying suffering desensitizing minds
Voyeuristic fascination
Half the podcasts in the nation
Dedicated entertainment to true crime

I got some dateline NBC
Little bit of crime junkie
Sometimes I grab me a tabloid, if I'm needing a bite
Cozied-up with an unsolved mystery from '99

True crime
Cheap high
Tell me how them people died
Give me all the dirty details from out of the shed
I know they're all pretty dead but let's make some bread

Now, I'd like to take a moment to talk about our sponsor better help
