Billy Bragg - Never Buy The Sun
A great song, with a great message.
Someone'sC hiding in theC/B bushes with aAm telephotoC/G lens
While their Feditor Emassures them, the Dmeans justify the Gends
Because we Conly hunt C/Bcelebrities and it's Amall a bit ofC/B fun
But the F7MScousers never Gbuy the CSun
C,C/B,C/G
And the parents of the missing girl cling desperately to hope
While a copper takes improper payments in a big brown envelope
And nobody in the newsroom asks where this information's from
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
C
F7MTabloids make their money betting Cbullshit baffles brains
And they Dmcynically hold up their Ghands if anyone complains
And they F7Msay "Well, we're just givinEmg the people whatAm they want"
Well they're cGrying out for justice, people G7crying out for justice
(Same structure throughout the rest of the song.)
And the man they call "The Digger" casts a proprietary eye
Over what goes on in the gutter and what happens in the Sky
And he claims he's fit and proper and the watchdog sings his song
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
International executives they hang their heads in shame
Tell us with their hands on hearts that the paperboy's to blame
But everyone who loves that kiss'n'tell, you must share the blame as well
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
Tabloids making millions betting bullshit baffles brains
And they cynically hold up their hands if anyone complains
And just say "Well, we're just giving the people what they want"
Well they're crying out for justice, people crying out for justice
In the corridors of power they all sit down to sup
with the devil and his minions and they for his opinions
But the politicians wring their hands and say "What's to be done?"
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
Well no-one comes out well when all is said and done
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
