Brighter Lyrics – Christian Borle, Sam Haft, Andrew Underberg

[VINCENT, spoken]
That’s it for today
And remember, trust us with your weather!

[VOX]
Rome wasn’t built in a day
You gotta climb a little higher, to the top of the display
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
You just gotta slit a throat or two to make the weak obey

[VINCENT, spoken]
Today, we mourn the loss of one of our own
But our commitment to the truth is as strong as ever
Remember, trust us with your news

[VOX]
If you want it, just take it
The world’s yours, don’t waste it
Go make the stars align, to shine brighter
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You’ll be brighter, going supernova, all the eyes look up (At you, at you)
Brighter

[VINCENT, spoken]
And a big thank you to my producers for giving me this chance
I know I have some mighty big shoes to fill
But I promise, you can trust me
With your entertainment

[VOX]
It’s not a shot in the dark, not up to chance
If you got plans, you’ll cancel every question mark
Fish like to swim next to sharks
Yeah, you eat or you get eaten
And you’re feasting on their hearts

[VINCENT, spoken]

They’re calling me a god, Bob!
You gotta strike while the iron’s hot
Leave the channel to me
I’ll bring in more new blood than you’ll know what to do with
Come on! Trust me with your network

[VOX]
Shine brighter
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You’ll be brighter
Going supernova, all the eyes look up (At you, at you)
Brighter!

[VINCENT, spoken]
The other studios wanna feed you the same old crap everyone’s seen before
You want newer, you want bigger, you want brighter
I will be your voice and we will redefine what it means to rule the airwaves
Trust me and your future will be brighter
Now who’s ready to be baptized into a new era of entertainment?

[VOX]
Brighter

Finally, I’ll show them what I’m meant to be (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Brighter)
They won’t believe their eyes when I bring them to their knees
To worship me
Brighter!
