Lyrics
The News
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.
War, a war, a war on the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes
Right behind 'em just like a headache
So I turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart brеaks
All together, evеry single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind
So I turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
Turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along we called it normal
Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along we called it normal
All along we called it normal
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
