Jack Johnson Bad News Lyrics

Bad News Lyrics

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the
terrible sight
Well momma 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 momma said 
You
can't believe everything ya 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 momma said, mmmmmmm
Why
don't the news casters cry when they read about people who die?
At least
they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes

Momma said

it's just make believe
You can't believe everything ya see
So baby
close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
