The News Lyrics

Jack Johnson

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 on the news tonight

And mama said

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

Mama said

It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

On the news tonight
