Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album ice on fire
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives dont drive, everybodys got to die someday
At least thats what the papers say
Coal mines closed down
Nobodys working underground today
More jails, peace for sale
Japanese still killing whales
Teen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least thats what the papers say
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives dont drive, everybodys got to die someday
Least thats what the papers say
Dope and pills, guns kill
Death just buys cheap thrills
Coal mines, closed down
Nobodys working underground today
Teen dreams, on two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least thats what the papers say
