Heard the News Lyrics by David Johansen

Sweet Revenge

0

I don't want you worrying about me, baby
But I've been out of work for so long
Things they say, they seem like stories
Sometimes...

But you don't get the truth about it
Don't you ever hear about it
Everything you read just ain't true

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news

Remember that girl her name was Tina
Most beautiful Spanish girl, I had ever seen
She came around looking for her brother

Did you ever hear about it?
Slipping over into rebel line
Tell me what was she supposed to do?

Have you heard the news?
Oh my sweet baby
Sweet, sweet darling

Have you heard about the government
Do you know just who it represents?
Have you heard the news? The news

Did you ever hear about it?
Slipping over into rebel line
Tell me what just what were they supposed to do?

Have you heard the news?
Did you get the truth about it?
Have you heard the news?
My sweet, sweet baby

Have you heard that there just ain't no work
Have you heard that there just ain't nothin'
Have you heard the news?

Slipping over into rebel lines
Slipping over into rebel lines
Slipping over into rebel lines
Slipping over into rebel lines
Slipping over into rebel lines
I got to slip on over
So don't you worry about me, baby
Slipping over into rebel lines
