don't believe what you read

Singer:boomtown rats, the

as soon as i wake up every day

i look at the papers to see what they say

i know most what i read will be a lot of lies

but then you learn really fast to read between the lines

'cos i know

what i read ain't true

i know

and i'm telling you

i know

if they say it's red

it's blue

don't believe what you read

do you believe what you read?

no

i don't believe what i read. never put it down in writing the old man said

i didn't know then but now i know what he meant

and if you're wondering why your letters never get a reply

it's just when you tell me that you love me i need to see.your eyes. 'cos i know

what i read ain't true

i know

and i'm telling you

i know

if they say it's one

it's two

don't believe what you read

do you believe what you read?

no

i don't believe what i read. and if you pick up a book and you're starting to read it

i'll tell you what you'd better do

you can read it till the end and even if you believe it

that doesn't mean to say it's true. don't believe what you read.
