| I'm the writer got a front page cover | |
| Hot gossip 'bout who's with their latest lover | |
| I write all chapters by the second scene | |
| I call the shots, don't need a Fleet Street team | |
| I am a writer and I'm the news | |
| You cross me you know you're gonna lose | |
| I'll do the story if you're dead or alive | |
| If seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive | |
| Slip out the news or a piece of scandal | |
| Don't toe the line, 'cause nothing's too hot to handle | |
| I am the writer and I'm the news | |
| If you cross me you know you're gonna lose | |
| Yeah you're gonna lose | |
| [INSTRUMENTAL] | |
| I am a writer and I am the news | |
| If you cross me you know you're gonna lose | |
| And where you are it's because of me | |
| 'Cause overnight you know it don't come free | |
| I'll put you up there or I'll bring you down | |
| 'Cause nothing moves without me in this town | |
| I am a writer and I am the news | |
| If you cross me you know you're gonna lose | |
| Boy you're gonna lose | |
| I said you're gonna lose | |
| I write the news | |
| I am the news | |
| Got to, got to lose | |
| Oh yeah you're gonna lose | |
| So don't step on my blue suede shoes... |
