"Front Page News" lyrics

"Front Page News"

What's your crime? Did you blow the start again?
Did you fall behind? Well, every day of the week's the end
Shame on you, standing by the bed
An angel of mercy with a gun in your hand, watch how you tread

Here come the Queen, take you for a ride
Somebody screams, she's a spy from the other side
When you drag it out, it all looks just the same
Feast your belly, wipe that, kick in your head, finger in your brain

They got new front page news
Look at you, front page news
Is this the only way? Is this the light of day?
Look at you, front page news

Shape up for the season, lights up for the fight
Overdose, take your pulse, black card for the night
Tempted by uniform, victim of the day
Take one a day for the rest of your life, ready to fade away

They got you, front page news
Look at you, front page news
Is this the only way? Is this the light of day?
Look at you, front page news, oh

Here come the Queen, take you for a ride
Somebody screams, she's a spy from the other side
Shame on you, yeah, standing by my bed
An angel of mercy with a gun in your hand, watch how you tread

They got new front page news
Look at you, front page news
Is this the only way? Is this the light of day?
Look at you, front page news (front page news)

Extra, extra
