News At Ten

Just a shadow on the News at Ten
Blue lines coming and it’s me again
Just a story on the News at Ten
Ad break follows then it’s me again

Sit there watching the TV screen
Hear their blood and I see their screams
Saying this time I’ve gone too far
Never booby-trapped your car
Sit there drinking the dregs of beer
Paid the cash and I smell the fear
Push the button and flee the scene
Never hang a thing on me

Sit there watching your TV screen
Hear their blood and you see their screams
Bodies strewn across the floor
This time they’ve gone to war
Sit there waiting for the end to come
Get so drunk and I feel undone
Knowing this time I must confess
My world is such a mess

Assassination on the News at Ten
Condemnation from the straight and narrow men
On the News at Ten
