A billion people died on the news tonight

But not so many cried at the terrible sight

It's just make believe

You can't believe everything you see
D Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
A Bm
On the news tonight

A Bm A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight

Well mama said
C#m
You can't believe everything you hear
Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
D Dm
So baby close your ears
Bm
On the news tonight

On the news tonight
Bm F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
A
And mama said

Mmm
A Bm
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
A
Mama said
C#m
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
Bm D Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
A Bm A
On the news tonight

Listen to the song for the timing. Thanks K-C, and Chris for getting
