As soon as |
|
I wake up every day, |
|
I look at the papers to see what they say, |
|
I know most what |
|
I read will be a lot of lies, |
|
But then you learn really fast to read between the lines, ' |
|
Cos I know (he knows) |
|
What I read ain't true |
|
I know (he knows) |
|
And I'm telling you |
|
I know (he knows) |
|
If they say it's red, it's blue |
|
Don't believe what you read, |
|
Do you believe what you read? |
|
No, I don't believe what |
|
I read. Never put it down in writing the old man said |
|
I didn't know then but now |
|
I know what he meant |
|
And if you're wondering why your letters never get a reply, |
|
It's just when you tell me that you love me |
|
I need to see...your eyes. ' |
|
Cos I know |
|
What I read ain't true |
|
I know And |
|
I'm telling you |
|
I know If they say it's one, it's two |
|
Don't believe what you read, |
|
Do you believe what you read? |
|
No, I don't believe what |
|
I read. And if you pick up a book and you're starting to read it, |
|
I'll tell you what you'd better do, |
|
You can read it till the end and even if you believe it, |
|
That doesn't mean to say it's true... |
|
Don't believe what you read. ____________________________________________________________ *written by |
