A                          Bm 
 A billion people died on the news tonight
A                            Bm
 But not so many cried at the terrible sight
              A  
Well mama said
                       
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
            A
Well mama said
                                         
You can't believe everything you hear
C#m                            Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
                          D        Dm
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
                  
And mama said
A       E
Mmmmmmmmmm

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
        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
