Flash & The Pan Searching For A Headline
It's the time, it's the day, it's the season
That's OK, it's understood
It's the dream and the plan and the reason
As they say, as they would
Sometimes you see, see it shining clear
Sometimes you feel, feel them in your ear
Broadcasting ego's coming in on you
It's just a feeling somebody's on the screw
Searching for a headline
Searching, everybody
Searching for a headline
Searching for a headline
There's a rage in the change to the weather
So they claim, it's overdue
There's a turd in the word of the blether
Just a fraud, through and through
Sometimes you see, see him closing in
Sometimes you feel, feel they're gonna win
Broadcasting ego's trying to push a hit
It's just a feeling they shovelling you shit
Searching for a headline
Searching, everybody
Searching for a headline
Searching for a headline
Somebody leaks to the paper
It's just a buck in the till
It's just a laugh, just a caper
And everybody smile until they get the bill

[ad lib]
It's the tale in the grail on the grapevine, on the
grapevine
Get the word (it's the word) up to date (and it's late)
It's the grit if it fit on the hateline (from the
dateline)
It's the sell (and it yell) to relate
Sometimes you see, see them use their tool
Sometimes you feel they take you for a fool
Broadcasting ego creeping up on you
It's just a feeling there's crap all over you
Searching for a headline
Searching, everybody
Searching for a headline
Searching
Everybody, you and me
This is democracy
This is bullshit
