Lyrics:
 
I write the news,
I know you can’t make sense of my southern views
Yeah London prices may seem stiff
But they roll you a spliff so you can't refuse

I write the news
And I can’t wait to bail on the southern rent
And the crime is high and so am I
and the Labour kids shout to what extent

I write the news
You’ve made way for some common abuse
Free gel pens well at whose expense
All the children need now is their ones and twos

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude,
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You've been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You’ve been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You’ve been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
I know you can't make sense of my southern views
Yes London prices might seem stiff
But they roll you a spliff so you can't refuse

I write the news
I know you can't wait to bail on the southern rent
And the crime is high and so am I
and the Labour kids shout to what extent?

I write the news
You’ve made way for some common abuse
Free gel pens well at whose expense?
All the children need now is their ones and twos well

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
Everybody else gets told what to do
They know jack and I know the facts
So you better listen up or I’m calling you rude

I write the news
I don’t waste time talkin to you,
Comes up quick till I feel sick from
Worrying about what the bad guys do

I write the news
All you fools better scream like I do,
If you get scared then you aint free
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean
