Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
I guess you read it's a holy war
But do we really know what we're fighting for?

Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
About the little girl who took a life
They say she didn't think about it twice

She was the queen of the Senior Prom
The Phi Beta KappaSumma Cum Laude one
Papers say she'd just birthed her new born son
But that didn't matter 'cause the girl just wanna have fun!
So she buried him in a plastic bag
And for the recordthe one regret she said she had
Was that the plastic was thin enough to hear
The screams of her child as she dumped his body near

Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?

The inner city teacher
Had always had but one dream
To show his students better water
Then the ghertos they'd been drowning in
He took them to his apartment
Gave our his numbermade them tea
His goal? To show that a better life
Could really be a possibility

When photos of his bloated body were presented
to the jury as evidence
His former student-alleged assailant-
had had his one thing to say in his defense
"Yo manI didn't do it.It was my homey.
"He pushed the Teacher in
"Drowned the Teacher in the Hudson River
"I guess the Teacher really couldn't swim"

Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?

These are our children
These are our neighbors
These are our next of kin
These are our hope for the future
These are the people we put our trust in

In a world ruled by information
How could we have become so misinformed
We have not conveyed the idea that
Human life is a precious thing
The most important lesson of all

Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today?
Have you read the press today.....
