Lyrics

Insultin’ Kevin Sheehan

You got a newsman in the dark,
No explaining his remarks in real time
Sounds of Kornheiser, he’s questioning everything
Kevin’s reading copy ’bout a bad crime
You feel uptight cuz he’s laughing inappropriately

And Gary doesn't mind, if he has to vent his spleen
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can say the newsman don't know anything
Servin' it up, he’s not contrite
When he’s insultin’
Yeah Insulting Kevin Sheehan

Then Mr. Tony steps right up to the microphone
And he says at last because this newscast stinks
Get out! Now’s it’s time to say shalom
And he gets in fast with one last sting

We are insultin’
We are Insultin’ Kevin Sheehan
Sheehan

    The track came from mizobeat on youtube. I'm guessing it was a studio rip or an export from Rock Band of the original. That one was spot on, And thanks for listening, this version was all about the riff on the title.

    Great riff on the title. Whoever did this backing track really captured Knopfler's playing fairly well.
