lyrics

News Corporation Blues

Somewhere in your town
There’s an office looking down
Better doff your cap and remove your shoes
On everything I thought was mine
They’ve gone and placed a dollar sign
Can’t help it got the News Corporation Blues

You can look for miles around
There ain’t nobody to be found
Who can say at once just look at me
I’m the only one who’s truly free

There’s no justice, there’s no escape
Right wing agenda shoved in your face
Can’t help it got the News Corporation Blues

We thought he had a price to pay
But then we saw him calmly walking away
We thought we had his number two
But number ten said it just won’t do

You worship money, you peddle fame
And politicians are just pawns in your game
Can’t help it got the News Corporation Blues

You’ll sell it down to the bone
And we’ll buy it cos we need Game of Thrones
Can’t help it got the News Corporation Blues
