Lyrics
BAD NEWS
He's self-assured
He knows how it goes everyday
He doesn't blink
He knows what to do to make it pay
Watch as our cities drown
Snicker and sneer
Gamble on apathy
Thrive on our fear
She loves the game
She plays for the team, in every way
Cold, steely gaze
What's underneath is hard to say
The haves heard their dinner bell
They've licked their plates clean
But they're always wanting more
And they've sharpened their teeth
CHORUS
What if you were left out of everything?
What if nobody told you the truth?
What if you found out that's the life you've been living'?
Welcome to the age of bad news
Time hasn't changed
The way things are run, it's all a ruse
You wouldn't think
That they'd get away, they always do
Boots lined up in the sand
The echoes ring clear
History is ignored
And the straw men appear
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Another fraud, another faker
To spread the bad news
And if you say you're gonna change things
Well you know what they'll say
"What would you do?
What could you do?"
CHORUS and OUT
