The city awakes, it lives for today
We feel so secure
But life is a bore behind all these walls
We need some excitement for sure
Watching the news while you're still in bed
The wheel of sensation turns around your head
Stay in its dream, believe what you see
And enjoy all the tears that the children shed
Gaze at the world in some kind of trance
Then you're high on words of the Promised Land
You hit the rainbow through your TV set
Then you're just flying high among the headlines of death
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it's shady and faking reality
Papers on fire
It's burning desire for the wildest lines
It's not news alright but they're just part of a fight
Where the winner's he who lies
But stay where you are, in your iron cage
Wasting your life, just give it away
You're chained in words but you've still got time
To make your own dreams, but then you're satisfied
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it's shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can't tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I saw the lies
Bewteen the lines
News is on the loose
Can't tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
It's out of control
There's no way to hold on to the truth in life
The rumours in town are running around
'Till they all end up with lies
But who wants to know what it's really like
Out in the streets, when it's safer inside
You needn't know anything except what you see
By the break of dawn, in front of your TV
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it's shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can't tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I'm dragged around by my simplicity
News is on the loose
There's more to life than meets the lens
News is on the loose
Can't tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I'm dragged around by my simplicity
News is on the loose
There's more to life than meets the lens
News is on the loose
