Lyrics
FRONT-PAGE STORIES
Who hasn?t seen it on the news today?
Who hasn?t heard it on the radio?
The headlines cry it out loud to the sky
It?s the latest topic of the day
Celebrity scandals, gruesome acts of vandals
Can you tell me the price of a life, a soul?
Chorus:
Front-page stories, spectacular fights
Close the doors and hold me tight
The people, the worlds, the news, our life
Everyone dances on the edge of a knife
The louder we shout, the harder we come
The less we control if we rise or fall
Oh God help to free us from this spell
Someone said man would pay anything
For a thrill, fears boredom like a disease
Sensitivity, respect and discretion
That?s all too moral, I guess we all agree
Is aggression the fashion or is peace our passion
Here?s the choice we will have to make
Chorus
