Journalists Who Lie
Words by Morrissey, Music by Stephen Street

Journalists who lie
stealing the money
prospering with spite
hate-in-a-hurry
oh see how they're only trying to make their name
by spreading biz-myth lies
about the ones who've made their name
stick in the knife, stick in the knife

Journalists who lie
the truth is — it happens
praise then crucify
just follow this pattern
and see how they're only trying to make their name
by spreading sickening lies
about the ones who've made their name
they give us the knife, give us the knife

Journalists who lie
so happy in malice
for a rock star out of line
so happy in malice

Journalists who lie
so sick and belaboured
they only want to be favoured
they only want to be favoured
see how they're only trying to make their name
with unproveable lies
about the ones who've made their names

In the black hole
of your soul
still bargaining away
the truth so easily
In the black hole
of your soul
still bargaining away
the truth so easily
the truth so easily

Journalists who lie
stealing the money
prospering with spite
and hate-in-a-hurry
journalists who lie
the truth is it happens
praise then crucify
just follow this pattern
journalists who lie
so sick and belaboured
they want to be favoured...
