Intro

Verse 1

There's a place where you don't wanna be

Where people die constantly

And they never die in normal ways

It's preposterous but still cliche

Bridge 1

When your drug dealer's aunt kills your mom in a duel

By chopping off her head with a scythe in a pool

Well they're not saying it makes sense

They're just interpreting the evidence

Chorus

This is the plot to every television crime show

From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store

The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes

Will come back because you know he did it

I don't think they're trying anymore

And I'm getting bored

Verse 2

There was semen all over the crime scene

So they use the super-fancy semen testing machine

And the DNA database gets a hit

But it looks like he might still get away with it

Bridge 2

But the final piece of evidence

Totally stumps the bad guy's defense

And he breaks down in front of everyone

And tells them exactly how it was done

Chorus

This is the plot to every television crime show

From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store

The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes

Will come back because you know he did it

I don't think they're trying anymore

And I'm getting bored

Interlude

Verse 3

By the middle of the first season

Murder is eclipsed by sexual tension

And I guess that probably happens a lot

Since crime-solving people are always so hot

Bridge 3

But then a serial killer kidnaps the girl

And they promise to save her if it costs them the world

And they find her two seconds before she dies

And they hug and they laugh and they screw and they cry

Chorus

This is the plot to every television crime show

From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store

The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes

Will come back because you know he did it

I don't think they're trying anymore

And I'm getting bored

*End on C*

That was a one-taker... take one-r... one... one-i-fier...
