Read all about it; tell me 
Have you heard the news?
Captain Bob - he don't pay no dues 
You know he's looking in my window 
He's stepping on my toes 
Don't want the truth, and it goes to show 

I got a joker up my sleeve 
I know what to believe 
It ain't right just because 
It's in black and white 
Find yourself a hero 
Treat him like a friend 
You build him up and tear him down again 

It don't hold a candle 
Hold it to the light 
Check it out 
Is it wrong or right?
Is this the news of the world?
It's just a pretty girl
She's all the news that's fit to print in 

Black and white 
Inside information, taken down note by note 
A silent footstep, that's all she wrote 
Shit, that's all she wrote 
No need to worry, the baby's gone to bed 
Dreaming dirty dreams in black and white and red 

Now I got nothing to fear 
Is this the scoop of the year?
Headlines on my bathroom wall 
In black and white
