The News
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you heard the news going round the town the freakshow's shutting down
All of you freaks put on the shelves in despair and anguish you will delve
Have you heard the news the selfish gits would rather lock you up than face it
Political correctness they do claim, they'd rather have you locked up you should be ashamed
Have you heard the news you're a disgrace flaunting your deformities in their face
So you freaks no longer to be shown, now locked up in hospitals and mental homes
Have you heard the news around this place they say that the freakshow's a disgrace
All of the freaks no longer on display now in an institution to be locked away
Have you heard the news you're all locked up, no longer normal people will be shocked
All those freaks lock them up, so our normal citizens you don't corrupt
Have you heard the news perverters of young minds now each one of you has had your time
They will not tolerate the corruption that you bring normality they reinstate out of this town freaks fling
Have you heard the news going round the town all of you freaks are to be put down!
News! News!
