|
| Well there’s been another warning
|
| Or there’s been another fight
|
| There’s a scandal going on
|
| Some reporter stumbled on
|
| About a leek in the press
|
| And the world is in a mess
|
| Wont you spare me from this story
|
| 'Cause I only get confused
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news
|
| Well some body told me lately
|
| You’ve been seen down the town
|
| Showing off your latest number
|
| With some young guy hanging 'round
|
| You were flirting with a kid
|
| In a way you never did
|
| When we used to be around
|
| And we thought we had it found
|
| Wont you spare me from this story
|
| Babe I’ll only get confused
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news
|
| There’s a man in an office
|
| And you know he’s on the make
|
| Long ago he sold his conscience
|
| For the company’s sake
|
| Now he’s really sealed his fate
|
| By building an estate
|
| An old sacred site
|
| So we cant give up this fight
|
| Wont you spare me from this story
|
| And all those I would accuse
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news
|
| Please don’t tell me about the news |
