Lyrics The News - The Tiger Lillies

The News

Have you heard the news
Going round the town
The freakshow’s shutting down
All of you freaks put on the shelves
In despair and anguish you will delve
Have you heard the news
The selfish gits would rather lock you up
Than face it
Political correctness they do claim,
They’d rather have you locked up
You should be ashamed
Have you heard the news
You’re a disgrace
Flaunting your deformities in their face
So you freaks no longer to be shown,
Now locked up in mental homes
Have you heard the news
Around this place
They say that the freakshow
Is a disgrace
All of the freaks no longer on display
Now in an institution to be locked away
Have you heard the news
You’re all locked up,
No longer normal people will be shocked
All those freaks lock them up,
So our normal citizens you don’t corrupt
Have you heard the news
Perverters of young minds
Now each one of you has had your time
They will not tolerate
The corruption that you bring
Normality they reinstate out of this town freaks fling
Have you heard the news
Going round the town
All of you freaks are to be put down!
Have you heard the news
Going round the town
All of you freaks are to be put down!
News!
News!
