Calling It News
[Verse 1:]
Heading into the election and the word is in
From every direction and it starts to spin
The focus on the pointless is blurring my view
Now everything they were thinking, and not a thing they knew
And they got all issues, it’s just a little ruse
It’s getting pretty old
But they’re still calling it news
[Chorus:]
Looking at the headlines, black and white
The devil’s in the details day and night
The grey little areas are giving me the blues
It’s getting pretty old
But they’re still calling it news
[Verse 2:]
Can you find a politician where it’s guaranteed?
No hyperbole-ation
Just the words I need
Can I get a little filter for the bloggers too
So anything off kilter just won’t get through
Now on the World Wide Web do we know what’s true?
It’s getting pretty old
But they’re still calling it news
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
They’re offering something that I can’t use
It’s getting pretty old
But they’re still calling it news
