Bang? |
Here’s your news report |
I’m your straight face for today |
Sorry if it’s short |
But I have to get away |
And be sick |
First the powers that be |
Line their pockets with your bread |
And it’s not too hard to see |
That you’re worth more to them dead |
Don’t you know the taxman |
Mourns you to the nearest bank |
You’re news report |
You’re news report |
And it’s short, short, short |
I want to know why people die |
Because they’ve been forgotten |
It’s you callin' fallin' |
And if you’re young, son, you’re the one |
To lead us into Hades |
And if you’re shot dead, then you’re called brave |
As they shove you down your grave |
And nothing is saved |
While you’re growing fat |
Wiping gravy off your sleeve |
There’s a child who like a rat |
Would cry and beg for what you leave |
Oh but you won’t be deceived by what you fear |
And you can’t be diseased by what you fear |
You’re news report |
You’re news report |
And it’s short, short, short |
