Intro: A

Verse 1:
A                                 Bm
 a billion people died on the news  tonight
A                                Bm
 But not so many cried at the terrible sight
              A
Well mama said

It's just make believe
Dbm
   You can't believe everything you see
   Bm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
D Dm         A
On  the news tonight
Bm

Verse 2:
A                                       Bm
Who's the one to decide that it would be  alright
A                                Bm
 To put the music behind the news  tonight
              A
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
Dbm                                Bm
   The diagetic world is so unclear

So baby close your ears
D Dbm                   Bm
     On the news tonight
                   Gbm
On the news tonight
    Bm                                   Gbm
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight

And mama said
A  E
Mmm

Verse 3:
A                                                  Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
   A                                               Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
         A

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
           A       Bm A
On the news tonight
