I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday
At least that's what the papers sayCoal mines, closed down
Nobody's workin' underground today
More jails, peace for sale
Japanese still killin' whalesTeen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers sayI spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday
Least that's what the papers sayDope and pills, guns kill
Death just buys cheap thrills
Coal mines, closed down
(Ooo, oo, ooo, oo, ooo)
Nobody's workin' underground todayTeen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers sayTell me what the papers sayTell me what the papers sayCoal mines, closed down
Nobody's workin' underground today
Dope and pills, guns kill
(Ooo, ooo, oo, oo, ooo)
Death just buys cheap thrillsTeen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers sayTeen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers sayTell me what the papers say
Tell me what the papers say
Tell me what the papers say
Tell me what the papers say
Tell me what the papers say
