A billion people died on the news tonight

But not so many cried at the terrible sight

You can't believe everything you see

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

You can't believe everything you hear

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
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
