Goodbye Sunday papers
Farewell evening news
Free press turned propaganda
Got the sovereignty blues
The first 5 seconds of sunshine
Brings a mornin’ smile to my face
The lust for life that I’m feeling
Well you just try and take it away
But just one unguarded moment
With your TV, phone or radio
They’ll give you a taste of fear
And leave you strung out on the floor
Goodbye Sunday papers
Farewell evening news
Free press turned propaganda
Got the sovereignty blues
Sticky sweet entangled in their web
Temptation waits on every page
Our fear cries out for protection
And plays into their plan to enslave
When you’re not paying attention
Well the talking heads will rob you blind
They’re paid by the pound for every
Innocent soul’s peace of mind
You’ve all gone blind!
Don’t read the morning paper
Won’t watch the evening news
Fear’s fires all they’re fanning
I won’t light up their fuse
Junk mails’ bulk deleted
Phone alerts have been diffused
My hive mind’s got a headache
Got the sovereignty blues
I’m so blue!
Sunday Papers Sunday Papers
Tell me what will it take
Shed our thick skinned debate
In our minds more than hate
We are invincible
It’s just a matter of time, relax and unwind
Face the sunshine
Don’t read the morning paper
Won’t watch the evening news
Fear’s flags raised and flying
But I’m not amused
I’m not amused
No!
Unplugged and disconnected
You’ll never take my right to choose
This gun’s not for hire
Won’t sing the sovereignty blues
Sunday Papers Sunday Papers
No matter where you go, there you are
Safe and spinning around this star
It’s just a matter of time, relax and unwind
Face the sunshine
