(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord)

 read all about it tell me
  have you heard the news
  captain bob he don't pay no dues
  you know he's looking in my window
  he's stepping on my toes
  don't want the truth and it goes to show

  i got a joker up my sleeve
  i know what to believe
  it ain't right just because it's in black and
    white

  find yourself a hero
  treat him like a friend
  you build him up and tear him down again
  it don't hold a candle hold it to the light
  check it out is it wrong or right
  is this the news of the world
  it's just a pretty girl
  she's all the news that's fit to print in
    black and white

  inside information taken down note by note
  a silent footstep that's all she wrote
  shit that's all she wrote
  no need to worry the baby's gone to bed
  dreaming dirty dreams in black and white
    and read
  now i got nothing to fear
  is this the scoop of the year
  headlines on my bathroom wall
    in black and white
