The city awakes, it lives for today We feel so secure But life is a bore behind all these walls We need some excitement for sure Watching the news while you’re still in bed The wheel of sensation turns around your head Stay in its dream, believe what you see And enjoy all the tears that the children shed Gaze at the world in some kind of trance Then you’re high on words of the Promised Land You hit the rainbow through your TV set Then you’re just flying high among the headlines of death News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy Inside it’s shady and faking reality Papers on fire It’s burning desire for the wildest lines It’s not news alright but they’re just part of a fight Where the winner’s he who lies But stay where you are, in your iron cage Wasting your life, just give it away You’re chained in words but you’ve still got time To make your own dreams, but then you’re satisfied News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy Inside it’s shady and faking reality News is on the loose Can’t tell the maker from the referee News is on the loose The lead is straight or was it bent? News is on the loose I saw the lies Bewteen the lines News is on the loose Can’t tell the maker from the referee News is on the loose The lead is straight or was it bent? News is on the loose It’s out of control There’s no way to hold on to the truth in life The rumours in town are running around ‘Till they all end up with lies But who wants to know what it’s really like Out in the streets, when it’s safer inside You needn’t know anything except what you see By the break of dawn, in front of your TV News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy Inside it’s shady and faking reality News is on the loose Can’t tell the maker from the referee News is on the loose The lead is straight or was it bent? News is on the loose I’m dragged around by my simplicity News is on the loose There’s more to life than meets the lens News is on the loose Can’t tell the maker from the referee News is on the loose The lead is straight or was it bent? News is on the loose I’m dragged around by my simplicity News is on the loose There’s more to life than meets the lens News is on the loose
