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