Bad News Beat - Neil Young

Have you heard the news

I lost my baby to another man

I got a bulletin of news

Late breaking story that I don’t understand

Should I call her up late

Should I ask her how she really feels

Should I try to make a date

For a time when we can touch

And feel

She' so on fire

She’s my desire

I’ve got the bad news beat

And my reception is loud and clear

I’ve got a man in the street

Telling me what

I don’t want to hear

I’ve got an eye in the sky

Taking pictures that

I don’t want to see

She’s got a brand new guy

Looks like she’s never coming back

To me

I’ve got an eye in the sky

I’ve got a man in the street

I’ve got the bad news beat

I’ve got the bad news beat
