Flying thru the airwaves 
Living thru the printed word 
Flasher in the living room 
Guru of the seen and heard 
Who decides what we get to hear? 
Fuzzy 'round the edges 
Or making it clear? 
Blinding us with those facts 
Blinding us with those facts 

Have You Heard the News? 
Wo wo wo wooo 
Have You Heard the News? 

Written on the black and white page 
We can't believe what we read 
Doubting of reality 
Has become the new rage 
Who says that truth is stranger than fiction? 
Money [it talks] and it will cause less friction 
A few white lies for a nice little sensation 

Have You Heard the News? 
Wo wo wo wooo 
Have You Heard the News? 

Little box in the corner 
A picture worth a thousand words 
But who chooses which pictures we see? 
Who decides on the commentary? 
Keeping people in a state of confusion 
There's a thin line between facts and illusion 
Diverting our attention from Big Brother in the city 

When will we get, when will we get to the real nitty gritty, 
Nitty gritty, nitty gritty 
When will we get to it, when will we get to it now, when will we get to 
It 
When will we get to it? 
Living thru the printed word 
[Flasher] in the living room 
Guru of the seen and heard 
Who decides what we get to hear? 
Fuzzy 'round the edges 
Or making it clear? 
Blinding us with those facts oh 
Blinding us with those facts 

Have You Heard the News? 
Wo wo wo wooo 
Have You Heard the News? 

Have you heard, have you heard? 

Have You Heard the News? 
Wo wo wo wooo 
Have You Heard the News?
