LYRICS:

You started on the small screen back in 88
Who would have thought the ratings turned out oh so great
Not knowing that your show would meet the hands of fate

You played the mother of a struggling family
Working so hard each day to try and make ends meet
But then your prejudice defined your true defeat

Such lewd behaviour
You're quite a traitor

Racism killed the TV show
Racism killed the TV show
Pink slip came and out you go

You were back on the air again and you have aged
Your family's troubled and still trying to make a wage
And now the network sacked you after your rampage

I hate to tell you
They will compel you

Racism killed the TV show
Racism killed the TV show
On the web you made a joke
Instead of laughs, people's hearts just broke

Racism killed the TV show
Racism killed the TV show
On the web you made a joke
Instead of laughs, people's hearts just broke
Pink slip came and out you go
By order of the CEO
