JACK JOHNSON lyrics : "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 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
