Lyrics

Journalists who lie Stealing the money Prospering with spite Hate-In-A-Hurry Oh, see how:

They're only trying to make their name By spreading Biz myth-lies About the ones who've made their name Stick in the knife Stick in the knife

Journalists who lie The truth is, it happens Praise, then crucify Just follow this pattern And see how:

They're only trying to make their name By spreading sickening lies About the ones who've made their name Mate, give us the knife Give us the knife

Journalists who lie So happy in malice Rock star - out of line So happy in malice Oh ...

Journalists who lie So sick and belaboured They only want to be favoured They only want to be favoured See how:

They're only trying to make their name With unprovable lies About the ones Who've made their name

In the black hole Of your soul Still bargaining away the Truth So easily Truth

Journalists who lie Stealing the money Prospering with spite And Hate-In-A-Hurry

Journalists who lie The truth is, it happens Praise, then crucify Just follow this pattern

Journalists who lie So sick and belaboured They want to be favoured They only want to be favoured
