The News

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 tonight

Who'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 tonight
The unobtrusive tones in the news tonight

And mama said mmmmh, mmmmh
Why 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

And 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
