The News Lyrics

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonightWho's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonightThe unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
MmmWhy don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said

It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
