Front Page Story / Diamonds In The River

[ti:Front Page Story / Diamonds In The River] [ar:Evermore] [al:Truth Of The World: Welcome To The Show] Evermore - Front Page Story / Diamonds In The River This ain't no front page story There's no fight' no hero' no glory There's no politician caught with his pants low There's no supermodel slipping at the fashion show There's no overnight miracle for sale There's no bubblegum pixie thrown in jail This ain't no front page story I could try and tell it but I know they'll ignore me Tell me little soldier' future gone to rust Your finger on the trigger' who is there to trust? There's diamonds in the river' there's oil in the dust And all that they've delivered is a history writ in blood Tell me' tell me' how long will this go on? They're coming in their thousands' tripping up the scales Wheels are sets in motion Woman' child for sale They came with guns and blew away The little light you'd stored away Everything left in disarray under a sky gun-metal grey Tell me' tell me' how long will this go on? This is no bed-time story This is no distant memory There's no Hollywood ending This is real... Tell me' tell me' how long will this go on?
