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
