Carl Eaton - Yesterday's News Lyrics

Another singer with a song he's never written but he's got it all
He thinks he'll never fall, he's come so far
He's just a cash cow and a puppet to the vipers who are in control
He plays the leading role, he's the star
Until the sales descend, there comes another trend

Money always comes before the star
Tomorrow they've forgotten who you are

It took a month for them to get him where he is, willing and starry eyed
The journey televised on every show
And when they said his name his face was on the front of every magazine
The corporate machine is in full flow
Until a younger face arrives to take his place

A draw for girls, a benchmark for the boys
A voice that can't be heard above the noise
He's the face but he has little say
He's living but it has to be their way

Though he's a pawn in a game, at least he's tasted the fame
He'd better take what he can, he's just a flash in the pan

Soon he will be free to sing the blues
Tomorrow when he's just yesterday's news
The rooms reduce in size as numbers fall
When only yesterday he had it all"
