Lyrics

I tried to get something into the papers It was about us demonstrators The reporter said: "no no not again, that's no news Come on mate, tell me something new" I tried to get something into the papers It was about us demonstrators The reporter said: "no no not again, that's no news Come on mate, tell me something new" Full of rage I smacked him in the face The editor said: "great We'll make room on page eight" Full of rage I smacked him in the face The editor said: "great We'll make room on page eight" Well, if there's room on page eight Then there's room on seven Or six or five So I made him listen to "Lee Towers live" Room page eight Seven, six, five Room page eight Seven, six, five Then there's room on seven Or six or five So I made him listen to "Lee Towers live" And after an encore He cried: "no more" And after an encore He promised me page four Still the reporter said: "no no no that's no news Come on mate, tell me something new" Then I broke his knee And I was given page three And when I washed his hair with glue It went up to number two Now read about us in the papers Us non-violent demonstrators But the reporter said: "no no no that's no news Come on mate, tell me something new" So I changed his face Changed his face Changed his face into a human disgrace And the editor said: "very fine Just in time for deadline Now you're gonna hit the headlines" It ain't what we want Or what it stands for It's just the way it's done And we've only just begun It ain't what we want Or what it stands for It's just the way it's done And we've only just begun So I changed his face Changed his face Changed his face into a human disgrace Just in time for the deadline Now we're gonna hit the headlines
