[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonight
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Listen to the song for the timing. Thanks K-C, and Chris for getting
me started on guitar, and helpin a brother out when needed. Much Love.
Later, Jake.
