(White/Cop/Nabb)
Verse 1
I believed what I read in the papers
So I waited for the front page news
I went out on the town with a woman
And a brand new pair of shoes
We all wore a strange expression
And proceeded to believe in lies
‘Til it seemed to me we’d all been hypnotised
Verse 2
Can you picture the looks on the faces
Staring at the TV screen
Everybody dead
Nothing in their heads
Aah it makes me wanna scream
What’cha gonna do when there’s nowhere to run
You’re living in world war three
You’ll all go home and watch it on TV
Middle 8
But I’m just gonna keep on dancin’
In my brand new shoes
This is the time for taking chances
There aint nothing to lose
Chorus
I’ve got brand new shoes
And I’m making my play
I’ve got brand new views
And I just wanna say……
Verse 3
That I don’t wanna a job in the city
I don’t wanna ticket to France
I just wanna piece of the action
But you aint giving me a chance
I’m getting so frustrated
Tied up to this ball and chain
I need someone to help me with my brain
Solo
Verse 4
Now some people want an election
Some think the answer is war
If that’s what they need
Then let them bleed
Cause I know what I’m living for
So turn the telly off put the newspaper down
Tomorrow might never arrive
And you might find it’s good to be alive
Middle 8
And I’m just gonna keep on dancing
In my brand new shoes
This is the time for taking chances
There aint nothing to lose
Chorus
I got brand new shoes
And I’m making my play
I got brand new views
And I just wanna say
I got brand new shoes
And I’m making my play
I got brand new views
And I live for today
