Story behind the song
ssg11 Week24
Lyrics
At first there was Bill and he spoke like the Queen
And he told how it was there was nothing obscene
But you knew it was real if not a little naive
Still we learnt how to trust we learnt to believe
Then Brian came next and he asked the right things
The politicians shied as he exposed all their sins
And he talked for more than a six minute bite
As he opened the lid and then looked inside
And now they reading the news with their smiles
They’re a million dollars talking in style
I don’t believe a single part of what’s said
They just want my two cents
They don’t want my two cents
Yeah they’re reading the news with their smiles
They’re looking good while they’re telling their lies
And the sponsors will spare no expense
While they try for my two cents
They don’t want my two cents
And now these talking heads have their opinions to air
With a look of concern but they don’t really care
And the news is all mine the weather as well
Yeah its all packaged up with the intention to sell
And so they’re reading the news with their smiles
They’re a million dollars talking in style
I don’t believe a single part of what’s said
They just want my two cents
They don’t want my two cents
Yeah they’re reading the news with their smiles
They’re looking good while they’re telling their lies
And the sponsors will spare no expense
While they try for my two cents
They don’t want my two cents
