Bad News

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight

Well, Momma 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 all right
To put the music behind the news tonight

Well, Momma said, You can't believe everything ya 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 Momma said, Mmm
Why don't the news casters cry
When they read about people who die?
At least they could be decent enough
To put just a tear in their eyes

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