Black & white

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

Uh read all about it, tell me have you heard the news?
Captain Bob he don't pay no dues
You know he's looking in my window, he's stepping on my toes
Don't want the truth and it goes to show
Mmm I got a joker up my sleeve
I know what to believe
It ain't right just because it's in black and white

Yeah find yourself a hero, treat him like a friend
You build him up and tear him down again, yeah tear him down
It don't hold a candle, hold it to the light
Check it out, is it wrong or right?
Well is this the news of the world?
It's just a pretty girl
She's all the news that's fit to print in black and white

Inside information taken down note by note
A silent footstep that's all she wrote, shit that's all she wrote
You got no need to worry, the baby's gone to bed
Dreaming dirty dreams in black and white and red oah
Well now I got nothing to fear
Is this the scoop of the year
Headlines on my bathroom wall in black and white

I got a joker up my sleeve
It's so hard to believe
It ain't right just because it's in black and white
Black and white
