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 lullabies
  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 lullabies
  On the news tonight
