i write the news

Declan Mckenna

That s so sick
I write the news (Literally)
I know you can t make sense of my southern views
Yeah, London prices may seem stiff
But they roll you a spliff so you can t refuse
I write the news
I know you can t wait to bail on the southern rent
And the crime is high and so am I
All the Labour kids shout, To what extent?
I write the news
You ve made way for some common abuse
Free gel pens, well, at whose expense?
All the children need now is their on?s and twos
I write the news
You v? been hangin with some Kensington dude
He likes you true but he cannot see
You ve been pickin his stems and getting rich for free
You ve been pickin his stems and getting rich for free
You ve been pickin his stems and getting rich for free

Everybody else gets told what to do
They know jack and I know the facts
So you better listen up or I m callin you rude
I write the news
I don t waste time talkin to you
Comes up quick til I feel sick
From worryin about what the bad guys do
I write the news
All you fools better scream like I do
If you get scared, then you ain t free
Got a cracked glass screen that I can t keep clean
Got a glass cracked screen that I can t keep clean
Got a cracked glass screen that I can t keep clean
