Monday Papers Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I don't want to go out any more 

I read the news, I can't believe my eyes 

I push the table against the door 

You know I've had it with the world outside 

If you want to know about the murderers and junkies 

If you want to know about the lower east side 

Now they got a map shows you where to get your monkey 

You can read it in the monday papers, monday papers 

Some people like a little gore 

Some people always at the scenes of crimes 

Now they can watch the tv more 

Now they can get it in the sunday times 

If you find it hard to handle what you see on page one 

You can pull the funnies out and have some laughs 

Take a drink and maybe you can laugh at ronald reagan 

You can read it in the monday papers, read it in the monday papers 

Monday papers don't ask no questions 

Monday papers don't get no lies 

Monday papers don't raise objection 

Monday papers don't got no eyes 

Brother's heading that way now I guess 

He just read something made his face turn blue 

Well I got nothing against the press 

They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true 

If you want to know about the gay politician 

If you want to know how to be a star 

Ladies - if you want to know about the new sex position 

You can read it in the monday papers, read it in the monday papers 

Monday papers don't ask no questions 

Monday papers don't get no lies 

Monday papers don't raise objection 

Monday papers don't got no eyes 

Monday papers don't ask no questions 

Monday papers don't get no lies 

Monday papers don't raise objection 

Monday papers don't got no eyes 

Read all about it, monday papers
