Cheated lyrics

A valentine from a politician
Three pages of your dog's ambitions
The stabbed lover and the furious bunny
Stare too long and your eyes go funny
Yes, I agree, we're reading tissue paper, but
We can talk about real things later
Cheated, cheated
Win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
Cheated, cheated
I read about the victims, crying all night

News - blurred photos of the latest plane crash
News - girl shivers as she hears the car door slam
News - TV guides you through uncomfortable questions
Doctor advises it's the communist problem
To change the truth until
It's worth money
It's a joke, but it's not that funny
Cheated

Our correspondent made to wait in the lobby
Torn to pieces by three have-a-go bobbies
Young swimmers in these sun-dialing times
Sweeping the nation with a dance called "the breadline"
It's in our water, and our education
We are oppressed into association
Cheated, cheated
It's a joke, but it's not that funny
Cheated, cheated
Change the truth until it's worth
Money

Cheated, cheated
Win a greenhouse to warm your sex life
Cheated, cheated
Read about the victims, crying all night
Cheated, cheated
It's a joke, but it's not funny
Cheated, cheated
Change the truth until it's worth money
Cheated, cheated
Drawing level means overtaking
Cheated, cheated
Missed the point because you were too
Busy faking it
