Lyrics 
 
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 can't 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  
Mmm  
 
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  
Mama said  
It's just make believe  
You cant believe everything you see  
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies  
On the news tonight
