These days - I get so confused
when I listen to the news - it makes me wonder
who gets to choose
whose news are we hearing here?
is it really the truth
or is it plain old-fashioned gobbledegook

in these days
of technicolour black and white
suddenly a whole lot of shades of grey -
and it makes me wonder
- can you talk your way out of this?

Hoo hah hoo hah - pretty much sums up where we are
hoo hah hoo hah - that pretty much sums it up
hoo hah hoo hah - pretty much sums up where we are
hoo hah hoo hah - that pretty much sums it up

Curt and Roland, you hit the nail on the nose
it’s a mad world my masters - yes
anything goes

I don’t mind if you’re hedging your bets
and I don’t care if you’re sitting on the fence
I’m not so bothered if you got no comment
but wouldn’t it be good if you made a little sense
every now and again

Hoo hah hoo hah - pretty much sums up where we are
hoo hah hoo hah - that pretty much sums it up
hoo hah hoo hah - pretty much sums up where we are
hoo hah hoo hah - that pretty much sums it up
hoo hah hoo hah - it’s an indication of the state of the nation
hoo hah hoo hah - it’s a sign of the times
hoo hah hoo hah - and it pretty much sums up where we are
hoo hah hoo hah - oh boy!
