Lyrics: I used to think nobody partied like suburban kids Til I got in the game and partied like a journalist You can find us where the bourbon is Never conserving it, still correcting grammar with assertiveness We’re well aware that what we do can change lives But we know that we have to be human at the same time Don’t get it confused, I put in work and it's thorough Whether it’s polishing my flow or polishing my Murrow Our lives are never business as usual Never know what to expect, never confined to a cubicle A good day is a manhunt with threatening weapons Or anything except a meeting in executive session We’re a little clinical it’ll be obvious We only watch “The Newsroom” to point out the flaws in it After working hard calling out liars We party harder, reading stylebooks by fire When you have a story with FOI’d tips Party like you are a journalist When getting your callbacks is all that you wish Party like you are a journalist We don’t do this for the glamour for the glitz If you think that, you need to to re-listen to "Camera Tricks" We gotta be crazy gotta be courageous But even Foxconn thinks we’re earning some low wages Sometimes a package will affect democracy Sometimes I’m just here for people to be mocking me I made a typo but I’m glad it was acknowledged By that viewer who called to ask how I graduated college Thanks for that, listen here I’m gonna sip a beer Before we all get replaced by the Twittersphere Another blog post how our job don’t pay I’m paid in compost waste but my job won’t change Reporters get all the unwanted hatred Of a celebrity but none of the compensation I love it, just not gonna do the math And party like I got all the money that people think I have When you are important but you don’t make s*** Party like you are a journalist When it’s Monday and you feel like calling it quits Party like you are a journalist When interns tell me that they’re journalism majors I say, “Don’t do it! You’re practically teenagers!” You got your whole life ahead of you, don’t get lied to But if you must, here’s a couple tips for survival (One) Don’t go into the meeting with a stupid pitch Pitching that press release is that foolishness (Two) Don’t be a diva no one likes a huge whiner Don't ever take a picture with you in a front of a viewfinder! I can’t imagine quitting, it’d be torture That’s why PR people always remind us if they reported I can tell the fire remains, we’re just wired this way You never lose it moving higher with pay Breaking news gets the adrenaline flowing Like the only drug you won’t regret in the morning So, plenty things can get a journo pissed But not everyone can party like a journo-list It's an addiction and this is our fix Party like you are a journalist We love to complain but we love the risks Party like you are a journalist When you break an exclusive Party like a journalist Food in the newsroom Party like a journalist When a drunk's in your live Party like a journalist First time you're recognized Party like a journalist When they confuse the black guys Party like a journalist When you beat a deadline Party like a journalist Print reporters don't like you Party like a journalist So when they have to cite you Party like a journalist
