The Writer

I'm the writer, got a front page cover

Hot gossip 'bout whose with

Their latest lover

I write off factors by the second scene

I call the shots

Don't need a Fleet Street team

I am a writer and I'm the news

You cross me, you know you're gonna lose

I'll do the story if you're dead or alive

I'm seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive

Slip out the news or a piece of scandal

Don't toe the line

'Cause nothin's too hot to handle

I am a writer and I'm the news

If you cross me, you know you're gonna lose

Yeah, you're gonna lose

Whoa

I am a writer and I'm the news

You cross me, you know you're gonna lose

And where you are it's because of me

'Cause overnight you know it don't come free

I'll put you up there or I'll bring you down

'Cause nothin moves without me in this town

I am a writer and I'm the news

You cross me, you know you're gonna lose

Boy, you're gonna lose

I said, you're gonna lose

I write the news

I am the news

You got to, got to, got to lose

Oh yeah, you're gonna lose

So, don't just step on my

Blue suede shoes

Ooh, you're gonna lose

I'm a lose

Gonna lose
