The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hearing the news ain't like being there
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you
Don't you know that, hearing the news ain't like being there
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier,
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you
And because we don't know
We're trying to understand
And because we don't know
We hurt our fellow man
And because we don't know
We're fitting in the plan
Everybody's hurting
There's a hurt in the land, don't you know, don't you know
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier,
nothing is real unless it's happening to you
And because we don't know
We're trying to understand
And because we don't know
We hurt our fellow man
An' because we don't know
We're fitting in the plan
There are people who are living on the death in the land, oh no
Nothin's like feeling it When it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you
