Steve Vai Details at 10 Lyrics:
Inspired by a real event. I was sitting there
watching a great movie, eating pasgetti, and boom!
Your friendly newscaster comes on and spews out
the most horrible news I’ve ever heard in my life
(but her name was not Wilma Wasko; in fact, Wilma
is a friend of ours). It seems to me that
television could be used in such a manner as to
benefit the world and each individual person on an
emotional, physical, moral and spiritual level.
But, no! Like most things that enable some
individuals to have tremendous financial and
material success, it gets totally corrupted.
Television is full of violence and lies and you
don’t need it. Or do you? Don’t you feel
embarrassed watching TV sometimes? If the answer
is yes, that’s good.

Do you think you can fool me? Do you think you
can lie to my face? Do you think I believe you?
Well, what you tell me is a total waste

Do you think you can use me? I bet you think that
you are great Do you think you can get away with
murder? I think you can use a kick in the face

Eh - you can fool some of the people some of the
time And you can fool most of the people all of
the time Ah - you can fool a few of the people
none of the time But you can’t fool me any of the
time

So I sit and I eat a TV dinner I watch an old
funny Marx Brothers movie And a flash comes across
my TV screen And it’s you in all of your glory

You like to tell me about brutal murders You make
me choke on my pasgetti Korean airlines that was
shot down by the Russians You even show the dead
peoples’ families crying

Well, you can gross out some of the people some
of the time Eh - you can gross out most of the

people none of the time Most of the people like to
get grossed out all of the time Ain’t that right
But you make me sick every time, every time

I see your face is laced with a new kind of taste
It’s great the way you waste all that space You’re
right, it’s night and I shouldn’t go outside But
if a stiletto stabs me It’ll make your job so
exciting If a razor cut me You can give them
something worth watching

We interrupt this song to bring you a special
news bulletin. Hello, this is Wilma Wasko,
anchorwoman at the Eyewitness News Center in New
York. Hey - do I have your attention? Look at me,
me, me (etc.) I’m on TV. Check this out, ladies
and gents. This is good stuff, real good stuff,
real good-good-good-good-good-good great stuff.

The two bodies of Trisha and Connie... (uh, what
was their last name?) (That doesn’t matter,
anyway). The bodies of two young school children
were discovered today buried in the Carle Place
Rushmore Grade School playground at ten o’clock
this morning. Despite the semi-decayed carcasses
of the young school girls (who were found to be 10
and 11 years old), the autopsy report shows that
the girls were brutally raped, strangled, beaten
and stabbed excessively. Young Trisha was reported
to have at least 27 stab wounds in the chest and
stomach area, with severe stabbings in the neck,
head and eyes. Young Connie was found to have a
severed left leg and heart displacement. And it is
this doctor’s opinion that anal sex was performed
on the dead bodies after the brutal, slaughterous
act was done. Details at 10.

The junk that you feed to my children Is junk
that you believe in I don’t care about crooked
politicians I don’t wanna see someone bleeding
while I’m eating

And when you review a motion picture You like to
kill the actors and writers You do this to feed
your own ego So your own life won’t seem so damn
miserable

Well, you could screw some of the people some of
the time And you do screw most of the people
all-a-da’ time Ah - you could screw a few-a-da’
people a couple of times But you can’t screw me
any of the time, any of the time...
