I have seen the streets and alleyways   Of a million faceless towns   The camera comes, the camera goes   Filming our blues for the late night news   We gather round    Never searching for our innocence   Our faith, our truth, our love   They're only there when things go wrong   Filming our blues for the late night news   We gather round       Show us peace and understanding   Brother love for fellow man   Cure us, we are sick from violence   In your sideshow of life       Impartiality is like   A coin they have to spend   The currency of the chosen few   They place their bets   Switch on your sets       There's world disasters by the minute   They tell us on the hour   And when we think we've paid our dues   They've filmed our blues for the late night news   We gather round       Show us peace and understanding   Brother love for fellow man   Cure us, we are sick from violence   In your sideshow of life       Sideshow of life       When it's late at night and you're all alone   With the one you love   Turn on the late night news and cry   Tears for all the lost and lonely people   Innocents in prime time       (Tragedies) of our life   (Tragedies) of our life   (Tragedies) of our life
