A billion people died on the news tonight
A Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
A
And mama said, "It's just make believe
C#m
You can't believe everything you see
Bm D D Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
Dm A Bm
On the news tonight."
A Bm
Who's the one to decide that it would be all right
A Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight?
A
Well mama said, "You can't believe everything you hear
C#m Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
D C#m
So baby close your ears"
Bm
[[:On the news tonight
F#m
On the news tonight,:]]
Bm F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
A E
And mama said, "Mmm, mmm."
A
Why don't the newscasters cry
Bm
When they read about people who die?
A
At least they could be decent enough
Bm
To put just a tear in their eye
A
But mama said, "It's just make believe
"C#m
You can't believe everything you see
Bm D Dm D Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
A Bm A
On the news tonight."
