The News Lyrics - Brushfire Fairytales - 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 cant 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, mmmmm-mmmmm 

"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."
