Black and White

Read all about it; tell me

Have you heard the news?

Captain Bob - he don't pay no dues

You know he's looking in my window

He's stepping on my toes

Don't want the truth, and it goes to show


I got a joker up my sleeve

I know what to believe

It ain't right just because

It's in black and white

Find yourself a hero

Treat him like a friend

You build him up and tear him down again


It don't hold a candle

Hold it to the light

Check it out

Is it wrong or right?

Is this the news of the world?

It's just a pretty girl

She's all the news that's fit to print in


Black and white

Inside information, taken down note by note

A silent footstep, that's all she wrote

Shit, that's all she wrote

No need to worry, the baby's gone to bed

Dreaming dirty dreams in black and white and red


Now I got nothing to fear

Is this the scoop of the year?

Headlines on my bathroom wall

In black and white
