Yesterday's News Lyrics


One, I've been here for a period of time
So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
I think back on all the years that I've survived
Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes
But now I'm yesterday's news
And I'm tomorrow's promise
I've got my mince pies open wide
Trying to visualize devils in disguise
Devz I'm like Picasso
'Cause I've been through every shade of blue
I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
It stayed alive 'cause I was made to ignite
Like dynamite I'm from the cold November night
I'm riding tight, notice flows slip and slide
Like a tire in the snow 'cause there ain't no grip on ice
I'm cold in the Moscow and it's minus 29
So welcome to my life, I've cleverly designed minds
Lost souls just trying to live the higher life

I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
Devlin, I'm dangerous, I'm dead guys
And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines
I've been through the blues just like Elvis's best time
But I ain't wearing suede shoes, I've just got the best rhymes
I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times
But I'll still rise like I'm the day walker Wesley Snipes
So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry
When I witness blood seeking through his veins
This has become apparent
I've got a talent that these other rappers haven't
So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains
I'm not sure what you think about [Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible] can't speak to me sane
So cut the conversation 'cause I've been lower rating
Taking anything I'm pleasing taking off the aviation
To a better place in time
Better for leaving this place behind
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sonny Vincent (born 1953) is a punk rock musician. He has been active since the mid-1970s, when he was part of the New York City punk rock scene.

Vincent formed the Testors in 1976 with Gene Sinigalliano (guitar) and Gregory R (drums). They played New York clubs such as Max's Kansas City and CBGB with groups such as Mink DeVille, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, The Cramps and Suicide, and toured nationwide with the Dead Boys. Testors released a 7" single, "Together" b/w "Time Is Mine" on Bleeker Bob's "Drive-In" label.

In 1981, Testors disbanded and Vincent moved to Minneapolis where he formed Sonny Vincent and The Extreme with Michael Phillips (guitar), Jeff Rogers (drums) and the late Mort Bauman (bass guitar). The group toured the U.S. and released another single, "SVE" with the songs, "Wingdale," "Top Dog" and "Phantom." The group also made the bizarre film "Mannequin World" on the streets of Minneapolis. It was shown on television in the Twin Cities only once, after which the host of the program remarked, "I sure hope the boss wasn't watching." In 1983, Sonny was involved in a performance art project that saw him banned from the grounds of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

The Extreme disbanded and Vincent went on to form groups with revolving lineups, such as Model Prisoners, Shotgun Rationale, The Dons, Sonny Vincent and the Guevaras, Sonny Vincent and his Rat Race Choir, before recording and releasing several albums under his own name in recent years.

Vincent has performed and recorded with musicians such as Wayne Kramer, Maureen Tucker, Scott Asheton, Captain Sensible, Cheetah Chrome, Bob Stinson, Walter Lure, Brian James, Thurston Moore, Richard Lloyd, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Jad Fair, John Sluggett, Greg Ginn, Lance of Athens GA and Kim Shattuk.

Vincent continues to perform and record with various musicians that he has met and worked with over the years. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
