Greenslade - Newsworth lyrics

(Newsworth) So tell me (Newsworth) What's really news after all The king broke a string, did that warrant five curtain calls (Newsworth) Excuse me (Newsworth) Your news has taken a dive The artists are gone Now who is the fastest alive Your pretence is there But your envy's showing its face You dropped your guitar The ball point's taking its place Your ego suffered a blow When your idol showed his disdain You say that you're unbiased well you must think that we're green (Newsworth) I've heard that (Newsworth) A newsworth lives in his pen May I suggest It's likely that he lives in one then (Newsworth) What happens (Newsworth) After you lie down at night In your case the lying's not reclining you can lie best upright We quite understand You can't always be kind Please take extra care And think before you malign You've come a long way Since the broom and the tea bag days So drop the Sunday paper stuff One page of ads is one too much When it comes to slagging, we play rough Did you think we were green Well we're not You're a (Newsworth) You're a (Newsworth) You're a (Newsworth)
