Hey Nancy!

 NB> I'd guess it has a catchy tune, to go with the lyrics....?

Yes.  I think the kids these days call it industrial music or at least it is
heavily influenced by that genre ... if indeed it is a real genre.

 NB> That's as likely as anything to make it succeed as a TV theme song

I've never seen the TV show but I am aware of it's existance.  The little TV I
watch is more news than entertainment.  I am more of a radio person especially
CBC Radio One which is more talk than music.  That is where I heard the
interview with the author of "Woke Up This Morning".

BTW despite the name Alabama 3, the band is British.

Life is good,
Maurice
