Cheated — текст песни (The English Beat)

a valentine from a politician
three pages of your dog`s ambitions
the stabbed lover and the furious bunny
stare too long and your eyes go funny
yes i agree we`re reading tissue paper but
we can talk about real things later
cheated cheated
win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
cheated cheated
i read about the victims crying all night

news...blurred photos of the latest plane crash; news,
girl shivers as she heards the car door slam; news,
t.v. guides you through uncomfortable questions
doctor advises it`s the communist problem
to change the truth until
it`s worth money
it`s a joke, but it`s not that funny
cheated.

our correspondent made to wait in the lobby
torn to pieces by three have a go bobbies
young swimmers in these sun dialling times
sweeping the nation with a dance called the breadline
it`s in our water, and our education
we are oppressed into association
cheated cheated
it`s a joke, but it`s not that funny
cheated cheated
change the truth until it`s worth
money

cheated cheated
win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
cheated cheated
read about the victims crying all night
cheated cheated
it`s a joke but it`s not funny
cheated cheated
change the truth until it`s worth money
cheated cheated
drawing level means overtaking
cheated cheated
missed the point because you were too
busy faking it
