[D] It [C] says here [G] that the unions [D] will never learn.
It [G] [C] says here that [G] the economy's on [D] the upturn.
[G] And it [C] says here we [G] should be proud that we [D] are free.
And our free [C] press [G] reflects our
[D] democracy.
[G] Those [Em] praying voices on the right [G] to live in the house all echo down the [C] street
of [G] shame.
Where [Em] politics mixes with the [G] arbiters in a [Em] money and [C] numbers [G] game.
[D] Where they only
do a feature [Em] on stockings and suspenders.
[D] They're still called the stiffer penalties
[Em] but sex [G] offenders.

[D] It [G] [C] says here [G] that this year's prince [D] is born.
It [G] [C] says here [G] do you
ever wish [Bm] that you were better [D]
informed.
And [C] it says [G] here that we can [D] only stop the rot
with a large dose of [C] law and order [G]
and a touch of the short [D] shot shock.
[G] If this does not
reflect your view you should understand that [E] those who own [A] the papers [C] also [G] own this land
and make rather you believe in coroners and street papers in the war [Em] circulation in [G] sales
newspapers.
Could [D] it be an [Em] infringement of the freedom of the press to print [D] pictures
of women [Em] in states [G] run by us.
