Extra! Extra! Read All About It! letra

How is it that there's only ever 40 pages in this black and white
And read all over that's been around for ages?
I refuse to believe that there's only enough news in the world each day
To fill the space that writers conveniently planned for on every page

And ain't it strange that the BBC can sum it up
For us in a TV show that's 30 minutes long
Current events on the day, but never again discussed
Well I for one am boycotting this mess of puns

Because the lies, the cheats
Deceits upon aren't worth the paper that they're printed on
So here's to you the Sun, the Mirror, Daily Mail too - f*ck you

Have you got your glasses on?
And applied moisture to your forefinger and thumb?
Hear what the Government have to say, read me the news today

Why would anybody choose to read the news at breakfast?
Choose to read about the rapists
The terrorists and the child molesters?

Reading on the train or bus
Then get into work and discuss their opinions on dumbed down
Politics, the politicians and their dirty tricks
