A good day to bury bad news

Well "The West" wakes up to a terror attack
But they got enough muscle for to give it right back.
Now the warmongers are happy
they know that they can't lose
They picked a good day for to bury bad news.

And all the latest figures talk of rising crime
While offenders are released before they've served their time
But they're happy down in Brussels
they know that we can't choose
They picked a good day for to bury bad news.

We've got a military stand-off
While they can't agree the peace
And political solutions
Are always out of reach.

A giant asteroid passed close by last night
Well this one didn't hit us but the next one might.
But the scientists are puzzled
they're looking for the clues
They picked a good day for to bury bad news.

While all the floods and famines
And the cyclone's rage
Of Biblical proportions
Can't even make the front page.

I said, "Hold on a second, there's a late news flash."
Billions wiped off as the high-techs crash.
But the ministers are happy
they know that they can't lose
They picked a good day for to bury bad news.

They can't bury bad news, they can't bury bad news
They can't bury bad news, they can't bury bad news
