I Write the News

That's so sick I write the news (literally) I know you can't make sense of my southern views Yeah, London prices may seem stiff But they roll you a spliff so you can't refuse I write the news I know you can't wait to bail on the southern rent And the crime is high and so am I All the Labour kids shout, to what extent? I write the news You've made way for some common abuse Free gel pens, well, at whose expense? All the children need now is their ones and twos I write the news You've been hangin' with some Kensington dude He likes you true but he cannot see You've been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free You've been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free You've been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free I write the news I know you can't make sense of my southern views Yes, London prices might seem stiff But they'll roll you a spliff so you can't refuse I write the news I know you can't wait to bail on the southern rent And the crime is high and so am I And the Labour kids shout, to what extent?

All the children need now is their ones and twos, well I write the news You've been hangin' with some Kensington dude He likes you true but he cannot see That you've been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free You've been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free Been pickin' his stems and getting rich for free I write the news You've been hangin' with some Kensington dude He likes you, true, but he cannot see You've been pickin' his stems and gettin' rich for free I write the news Everybody else gets told what to do They know jack and I know the facts So you better listen up or I'm callin' you rude I write the news I don't waste time talkin' to you Comes up quick 'til I feel sick From worryin' about what the bad guys do I write the news All you fools better scream like I do If you get scared, then you ain't free Got a cracked glass screen that I can't keep clean Got a cracked glass screen that I can't keep clean Got a cracked glass screen that I can't keep clean (clean)
