I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies, tell me what the papers say
C7                                                 F7                                C  C7
Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday, least that's what the papers say

Coal mines closed down, nobody's working underground today

More jails, peace for sale, Japanese still killing whales

Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday, least that's what the papers say
         C           G   F C          F          G
Dope and pills, guns kill, death just buys cheap thrills
     C             G     F                C    F        G
Coal mines, closed down, nobody's working underground today
