Have You Heard the News? - Howard Jones

Flying through the air waves

Living through the printed word

Flasher in the living room

Guru of the seen and heard

Who decides what we get to hear

Fuzzy round the edges making it clear

Blinding us with those facts

Blinding us with those facts

Have you heard the news?

Have you heard the news ohh oh

Written on the black and white page

We can’t believe what we read

Tarting up reality

Has become the new rage

Who said the truth is strange than fiction

Muddy it all up it will cause less confusion

A few white lies for a nice little sensation

Have you heard the news?

Have you heard the news ohh oh

Little box in the corner

A picture worth a thousand words

But who chooses which pictures we see?

Who decides on the commentary?

Keeping the people in a state of confusion

There’s a thin line between fact and illusion

They’re burning our intentions from big brother in the city

Have you heard the news?

Have you heard the news ohh oh

(When will we get to the real nitty gritty)

Flying through the air waves

Living through the printed word

Flasher in the living room

Guru of the seen and heard

Who decides what we get to hear

Fuzzy round the edges making it clear

Blinding us with those facts

Blinding us with those facts

Have you heard the news?

Have you heard the news ohh oh
