What's Going On? Lyrics

What's Going On?

It's 'Man Bites Dog' in the papers again
Oh ho look at the news
can anybody here tell me what's going on?

'Soccer Yob Crushed In Flab Queen's Sex Den'
Oh ho look at the news
can anybody here tell me what's going on?

Who do these people think they are?
They really make me yawn
I'm tired of their silly season stuff
and their circles in the corn
Aliens have landed!
A housewife says its true!
"One of them made love to me in the back of his flying saucer all night long!
oowoo wooo woooo!"
Well I guess if I was that lonely I'd say so too

So I'll judge not like the good book says
I won't go around throwin' stones
But somehow I know that something's stupid going on
I can feel it in my bonesNeil Innes - What's Going On? - http://motolyrics.com/neil-innes/whats-going-on-lyrics.html

Nonstop broadcast vision and sound
Oh ho look at t.v.
Can anybody here tell me what's goin' on?

Movies! Sports! Soaps! Come On Down!
Oh ho look at t.v.
Can anybody here tell me what's goin' on?

Cartoon characters do their thing
I think they're really cute
They're not like those nasty men who keep people in Beirut

Well wait a minute, this is it!
This is my all time favorite hit!
A giant close up of the double flame grilled burger
with an extra thick shake and fries
So I guess it really must pay to advertise

Whatever
Since the world began
People have done both right and wrong
And I know that I'm no angel
So I might as well end this song
