A billion people died on the news tonight   But not so many cried at the terrible sight      Well mama said, "It's just make believe   You can't believe everything you see   So baby close your eyes to the lullabyes   On the news tonight"      Who's the one to decide that it would be alright?   To put the music behind the news tonight      Well mama said, "You can't believe everything you 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 mama said   "Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die?   At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes"      Mama said, "It's just make believe   You cant believe everything you see   So baby close your eyes to the lullabyes   On the news tonight"
