Moon landings, conspiracy theories, assassination, military intervention, public fear and media hype?

Yeah, who hasn't had enough? Is there a parallel universe inside?

Strings arranged by Sonny Williamson, played suitably vigorously by Sheena McKenzie (Cello) and Alice Butcher (Violin).

Lyrics

World of News

I fell into a world of news, a white queen for the red and blue
A politician who will vote for you, in the fall-out after World War II
Now they say that isn’t true, they say that isn’t true

I fell into a world of news, the day the colours never flew
JFK was passing through, the CIA is after you, after you

I fell into a world of news, the day that Neil walked on the moon
Too many shadows, they turned the cameras off too soon
It was a Hollywood crew, a Hollywood crew

I fell into a world of news, the day the statue broke in two
They flew their bloody colours, and beat the traitor with their shoes
Now they say he’ll come for you, he’ll come for you

These crazy dreams will never stop, turn off the tube, I’ve had enough
Crazy dreams will never stop, turn it off
These crazy dreams will never stop, turn off the tube, I’ve had enough
Crazy dreams will never stop, turn it off
Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
These crazy dreams will never stop.
