Ice On Fire
Tell Me What The Papers Say
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday
At least that's what the papers say
Nobody's working underground today
More jails, peace for sale
Japanese still killing whales
Teen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers say
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday
Least that's what the papers say
Dope and pills, guns kill
Death just buys cheap thrills
Coal mines, closed down
Nobody's working underground today
Teen dreams, on two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that's what the papers say
In the song "Say Yeah" by The Limit, the lyrics paint a picture of a society consumed by the media and its sensationalist portrayals of the world. The chorus states "I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies, tell me what the papers say," indicating a distrust of the media's representation of reality. The first verse touches on the concept of mortality - "everybody's got to die someday, at least that's what the papers say" - suggesting that the media perpetuates a culture of fear and mortality. The verse also references the closure of coal mines and lack of employment, and the prevalence of crime and violence which are all commonly reported by media agencies.
The second verse continues with references to the media's portrayal of society, making mention of the sale of peace, the killing of whales, and the idolization of teenage dreams and celebrity culture. The final verse further highlights the negative portrayal of society, with the reference to drug abuse, gun violence and the commercialisation of death.
Overall, the song highlights how the media can create a distorted reality of the world, often prioritizing sensationalism over truth. The lyrics encourage the listener to question the media's portrayal of reality and to form their own opinions and beliefs.
