Golden Earring - N.E.W.S. Lyrics

From the Album:
* N.E.W.S.

N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W.S., North, East, West and South
Read all about it, read all about it
Neeeeeeeeeeeeews
I wanna know about the weather tomorrow, I wanna know what happened
today
I wanna feel that I'm a part of the games, that all the other people play
I mean, being in touch with the actual thing, no matter how amazing
Oh I turn on my radio, switch on my TV, open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they got, let's see what they got
Let's see what they got, to upset me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind, and a four-way misery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)
Well once upon a time I was a sailorman, curious about my destiny
So I sailed away on a ship of slaves; the rest, as you know, is history
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)
There's gotta be a lesson for you and me, I mean everybody
How come we never seem to learn, from the things that we all study
Let me hear you say:
North - Scandinavia, Alaska, Siberia
East - Japan, China and India
West - Europe and the US of America
South - Australia, South America, South Africa
Spell it out! N.E., Who, me? Yeah You! Double You and S for South
Jungle drum, word of mouth
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out.
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV, open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they got, let's see what they got,
Let's see what they got, to update me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind and a four-way misery
North, East, West
We're gonna get it together, we're go
