Hey Mom and Dad
Come look at the TV screen
It's the coolest movie I've ever seen
Wicked special effects, a visual delight
Smoke and screams and fire with editing so tight
You'd swear those were real airplanes
On some top secret mission, a heroic flight
As long as the good guys kill the bad guys
Everything is going to be alright

Look at the people running
Look at all the people screaming
Look at all the people crying
Look at all the fireman and police
Trying to save all the people from dying
I don't recognise any of the actors
But they're all so good at playing pretend
I don't know the name of this movie
But we should rent it from Blockbuster on the weekend
I must have turned this on in the middle
I don't really understand the plot- do you know who started the fight?
As long as the good guys kill the bad guys
Everything is going to be alright

Look at the terror on their faces
Like New York City's all going to burn and stop
I'm on the edge of my seat now
Let's make some popcorn, with extra butter on top
Wow, so many ant-like people, all jumping from the roof
While hundreds of others are trapped inside
Where's the heartthrob hero? Where's his big gun?
As long as the good guys kill the bad guys
Everything is going to be alright

Everyone's running away now, covered in a thick dust
I can't believe how real this seems
This film's got to be up for Oscars in everything
Best Director, Best Sound, Best Screenplay, Best Editing
Incredible, one tower just fell, like some great big house of cards
Cool, there goes the other one - leaving a great big gaping hole
Who was the genius who computer generated this visual delight?
Isn't it amazing what they can do with technology today?
Imagine if that really happened?
Not that anything like that could really happen
Sisters and brothers
Fathers and mothers
Friends and lovers
Sons and daughters
Husbands and wives
None of them are coming home tonight
Thank God it's just a movie
As long as the good guys kill the bad guys
Everything is going to be alright


We miss you, Michelle.
