Newsreel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Point the camera at the baby Shoot the mother giving birth Watch the blood run down the table Close-up to the after-birth [Chorus] Newsreel Newsreel [Verse 2] Push the mike into the mouth of the wound Tape the sound of fading life Edit out the sounds of displease Ask the feelings of a dead man's wife [Chorus] Newsreel Newsreel [Bridge] [?] [Verse 3] Pretend the camera doesn't change things Send me a few images in only one eye A soldier poses, then pulls the trigger Wipes his hand and waves good-bye [Chorus] Newsreel Newsreel
