Tell Me What The Papers Say

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album ice on fire



I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies

Tell me what the papers say

Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday

At 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

Teen dreams

On two inch screens

Lipstick boys all look like queens

Least that's what the papers say





I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies

Tell me what the papers say

Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday

Least that's what the papers say





Dope and pills, guns kill

Death just buys cheap thrills

Coal mines, closed down

Nobody's working underground today





Teen dreams, on two inch screens

Lipstick boys all look like queens

Least that's what the papers say
