i am the news lyrics

I am the news, and I'll say no more
I am the stranger at your door
I am the deep beneath the sea
The threat of flood, tide rising

I am the banks bearing refugees
Always a 'cause, not solution
A constant fear or a fleeting joy
Your only friend who needs using

I am the news, and I'm in your face
And I'll take my profit from your faith
I am the face beneath the mask
The catalyst explosions

I am the crop, bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction

Be my best friend
Don't give us the truth
I need the news again

I am the news, and I'm every spin
I am what is and what's not in
I am the trump card, I'm the ace
I am the news, and I'm in your face

I am the ocean's biggest roar
I am the smallest twist of fate
I am the ending of a play
I am the opening curtain

I am the crop, bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction

Be my best friend
Don't give us the truth
I need the news again
