Lyrics

News Blues

Chorus :

If you want to know what's going on
Don't read the papers, they've got it all wrong
Don't watch the news, it's political show biz
They never tell it like it really is

Verse 1 :

The cops shot a guy, from his wounds he dies
People on the street ignorantly cry
No justice, they believe the reporters lies
He was a gun toting drug dealer out on bail
If you ask me there should be a media jail
Don't feed their power hungry greed
And don't believe all that you read

Verse 2 :

Read between the lines they tell you which way to vote
Nothing is equal in the way they take their bias notes
They don't hold the public in very high esteem
They don't trust us to decipher what the truth means
The media's words are never what they seem
Don't feed their influence seeking greed
And don't believe all that you read

Repeat Chorus

Bridge :

I got the news, the news blues
The news blues, I got the news blues

Verse 3 :

They tell you what they want to support their say
The whole story is always a mile away
The additions and omissions are right on time
They keep me from the knowledge that is rightfully mine
Their news reporting is the worst kind of crime
Don't feed their influence seeking greed
And don't believe all that you read

Repeat Chorus... (Fade Out)
