Jimmy Cliff - The News Lyrics

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news

I was in Africa down in Nigeria
Oh they threw me in jail
I had one hell getting bail

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news

They scandalizing my name
They want to make me look shame
Because I got little fame
They want to make me look shame

Have you heard the news Everybody

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news

It started by some liar
Spreading like wild fire
Propaganda all around
News believed in every town
In London ‘Merica then in Jamaica
All over Trinidad
Oh Lord I felt so bad eeh eeh

Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news

It started by some liar
Spreading like wild fire
Propaganda, lies, libel uhh uhh
