A billion people died on the news tonight But not so many cried at the terrible sight And 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 all right 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, 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 eye. But 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."
