The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
How 'bout talking about yourself? 
Do you like what you're doing, 
Or is it that you can do nothing else? 

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
I'll believe all that you put down. 
I'll believe the sun is going up, 
Even though it's going down. 

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
Don't you twist my words around. 
I'll kill you, I won't let you, 
Distort my simple sound. 

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
How 'bout talking about yourself? 
Do you like what you're doing, 
Or is it that you can do nothing else? 

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
How 'bout talking about yourself? 
Do you like what you're doing, 
Or is it that you can do nothing else? 

Did your daddy stop you playing 
With your friends when you were young? 
And is that why you run down 
All the young folks have their fun. ?

The reason I am stupid, 
Is because I read you every day. 
You misquote all of the true things 
Because they rub you the wrong way. 

Hey, Mr. Reporter, 
How 'bout talking about yourself? 
Do you like what you're doing, 
Or is it that you can do nothing else?
