Watching the News Songtext
von Iggy Pop

Watching the news
The plot you already know
(Don′t have anything)
(They don't belong to anywhere)
Imagining things to be perfectly white
(Who are these people?)
(They don′t belong)
(Where's the U.S. Navy?)
I like the action
Money money
Food here
Woman woman
Fight here
Approval approval
Frown frown
Approval
My daughter's not some damn hamburger chainsaw
In a parking lot
She trips
Quick quick


Won′t somebody help me?
(She carries that television on her back as I watch the news)
That′s the russians
(Carry the television)
Money money
Food here
Fuck here
Fuck here
Woman woman, fight here
(Approval, you don't count)
(The president today announced)
(That he′s pushing all the buttons in a giggling fit)
You already know
Makes you feel good
Makes you feel so good
I want to be on
I want to be on
So good crying
I want to be on
The news
I want to be known
I want to be known, I want to be on
I want to be known
(Come on everybody knows that everybody's watching the news)
(Watching? Watching?)
(It′s all about crime)
(I like to watch)
(But I like to)
What do you want? What do you want?
What do you want...
(Legs rush, legs rush, legs rush, legs)
Scary, scary, damn scary

(Come all ye faithful ye joyful triumphant)
