Billy Bragg - It Says Here Lyrics
It says here that the unions will never learnIt says here that the economy is on the upturnAnd it says here we should be proudThat we are freeAnd our free press reflects our democracyThose braying voices on the right of the houseAre echoed down the street of shameWhere politics mix with bingo and titsIn a strictly money and numbers gameWhere they offer you a featureOn stockings and suspendersNext to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offendersIt says here that this years prince is bornIt says here do you ever wishThat you were better informedAnd it says here that we can only stop the rotWith a large dose of law and orderAnd a touch of the short sharp shockIf this does not reflect you view you should understandThat those who own the papers also own this landAnd theyd rather you believeIn coronation street capersIn the war of circulation, it sells newspapersCould it be an infringementOf the freedom of the pressTo print pictures of women in states of undressWhen you wake up to the factThat you paper is toryJust remember, there are two sides to every story
