Golden Earring - N.E.W.S. lyrics

N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W., S, North, East, West and South

Read all about it, read all about it

Neeeeeeeeeeeeews

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 got

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 (2x)

Well once upon a time I was a sailorman,

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 (2x)

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
