And our free press reflects our democracy 

      G       Em            C            G 
Those braying voices on the right of the house 

G    Em                C            G 
Echo down the street of shame

With a large dose of law and order and a touch of the short sharp shock 

             G                Em            C        G 
Is this does not reflect your view you must understand 

               G         Em          C        G 
That those who own these papers also own this land 

           G             Em          C              G

Pictures of women in states of undress?

         D                              Em 
When you wake up to the fact that your paper is Tory 

        C                             G 
Just remember there are two sides to every story
