Oh the press is down
|
And the flesh is black and white
|
Eager workers turning the pages
|
Dirty fingers touch your life
|
|
All you pretty maids
|
With all your charms on view
|
Farm the wasteground in your head now
|
Your sisters can't get through
|
|
Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane
|
What will your sisters say
|
Oh they'll say ain't it a shame
|
After comin' such a long, long way
|
Citizen Jane
|
|
Now they're trading skin
|
And the cause is pushed away
|
Greedy piggies live on Fleet Street
|
Dealing meat out every day
|
|
Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane
|
What will your sisters say
|
Oh they'll say ain't it a shame
|
After comin' such a long, long way
|
Citizen Jane
|
|
What a picture, what a woman
|
What a curve on the great white way
|
A little touch up, a little airbrush
|
What will your sisters say
|
