Front Page Story / Diamonds In The River

This ain't no front page story
There's no fight, no hero, no glory
There's no politician caught with his pants low
There's no supermodel sliping at the fashion show

There's no overnight miracle bar sale
There's no bubblegum pixie thrown in jail
This ain't no front page story
I could try and tell it
But I know they'll ignore me

Ah, woo

Tell me little soldier
Future gone to rust?
Your finger on the trigger
Who is there to trust
Oh

There's diamonds in the river
There's oil in the dust
But all that they've delivered
Is a histroy red in blood
Oh, oh, yeah

Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?
Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?

They're coming in their thousands
Tipping out the scales
Wheels are set in motion
Ooh, not much out for sale
Ooh, ooh

They came with guns and blew away
The little lie you stored away
Everything left in disarray under a sky gone mellow grey

Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?
Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?

This is no bedtime story
This is no distant memory
There's no Hollywood ending
This is real, this is real, this is real

Tell me, tell
How long will this go on?
Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?
Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?
Tell me, tell me
How long will this go on?

Tell me, tell me
