And That's The Way The News Goes

Live from Brooklyn, New York
Trizzy
Lewis
And that's the way the news goes

Here in the US
The media mission
Got nothing to do with us
Being consistent

It's not hard to say
It's wrong to kill innocents
But when it come to Gaza
You gotta say it different

This was a hospital now it's a huge hole
Got plenty of shots of it just so you know
But boss man said, hey don't include those
And that's the way the news goes

Say goodbye to any kind of scruples
There's rules to this shit
But they're finding loopholes

Just make sure you get Jake Tap
In that cool pose
And that's the way the news goes

No matter how many times
They fail a fact check
No matter how many lies
Get retracted

We just like
Welp, IDF said it
No questions
Yes it's legitimate

A five second mention
Of thousands of casualties
Including civilians
That's equal attention

'Cause they'll do anything
To get that shot
Of their reporters ducking for cover
From abbas rockets

It's lose-lose
When they're dropping bombs
All through the city of Khan Younis
But turn on the news and it's

An interview with a guy
Who knew a guy
Who went to school with
The sister of a hostage, back in Puget

They say this carnage
Is a necessity
Screams be the soundtrack
To the elegy

Repeating over and over
Like a melody
But still only reporting
From Tel Aviv

While hundreds of Americans
Were trapped in Gaza
They had families around
That was down to talk to ya

But you'd rather manufacture drama
Bring survivors back to the scene
And film the trauma

This was a hospital now it's a huge hole
Got plenty of shots of it just so you know
But boss man said, hey don't include those
And that's the way the news goes

Say goodbye to any kind of scruples
There's rules to this shit
But they're finding loopholes

Just make sure you get Jake Tap
In that cool pose
And that's the way the news goes

When they say
No journalists allowed in
What you should hear
Is alarm bells sounding

And at the time
That I'm writing this song
I know of hundreds of journalists
Killed in airstrikes y'all

This was a hospital now it's a huge, oh
I said that already? Well now you know
Repetitive? You bet it is

It's the news bro
Let's all sing along
To the way the news goes

Class is in session, this is an intro to
How to catch a case of main character syndrome
Shoutout to Jake Tap in that cool pose
And that's the way the news goes

I'll make an exception
For PBS
Far from perfect
But doing they best
