Song Lyrics

N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W., S, North, East, West and South
Read all about it, read all about it
News
I wanna know about the weather tomorrow
I wanna know what happened today
I wanna feel that I'm a part of the games
That all the other people play

I mean being in touch with the actual thing,
No matter how amazing
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've gotÃ???
Let's see what they've got to upset me
It's pitiful, shameful,
All I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind,
And a four-way misery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Well once upon a time I was a sailor man,
Curious about my destiny
So I sailed away on a ship of slaves,
The rest, you know, is history
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

There's gotta be a lesson for you and me,
I mean everybody
How come we never seem to learn,
From the things that we all study
Let me hear you say
North, Scandinavia, Alaska, Siberia
East, Japan, China and India
West, Europe and the US of America
South, Australia, South America, South Africa
Spell it out, N.E., Who, me? Yeah You!

Double U and S for South
Jungle drum, word of mouth
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out.
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine

Let's see what they've got, let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got, to update me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind and a four-way misery
North, East, West

We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
