You can read it in the morning
|
You can read read it late at night
|
Well there's been another warning
|
Or there's been another fight
|
There's a scandal going on
|
Some reporter stumbled on
|
About a leek in the press
|
And the world is in a mess
|
Wont you spare me from this story
|
'Cause I only get confused
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
|
Well some body told me lately
|
You've been seen down the town
|
Showing off your latest number
|
With some young guy hanging 'round
|
You were flirting with a kid
|
In a way you never did
|
When we used to be around
|
And we thought we had it found
|
Wont you spare me from this story
|
Babe I'll only get confused
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
|
There's a man in an office
|
And you know he's on the make
|
Long ago he sold his conscience
|
For the company's sake
|
Now he's really sealed his fate
|
By building an estate
|
An old sacred site
|
So we cant give up this fight
|
Wont you spare me from this story
|
And all those I would accuse
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
Please don¡¯t tell me about the news
|
