I Read The News

(album: The Art Of Control - 1982)

I read the news every single day
I change the channel
But it never goes away
I feel so helpless
Who can I trust today

Ooh ooh I read the news
Ooh ooh I read the news
I don't wanna know when the world's gonna blow up
Ooh ooh I read the news

I scan my headlines
They say I'm well informed
I'm meeting deadlines
Keeping my wallet warm
I'm watching nightline
But my confidence has been torn

Ooh ooh I read the news
Ooh ooh I read the news
I don't wanna know when the world's gonna blow up
Ooh ooh I read the news

I read the news
You didn't even know
You were misquoted
They printed it must be so
I was your target
You'll be the first to go

Ooh ooh I read the news
Ooh ooh I read the news
I don't wanna know when the world's gonna blow up
Ooh ooh I read the news

Ooh ooh I read the news
Ooh ooh I read the news
I don't wanna know when the world's gonna blow up
Ooh ooh I read the news
