[A]A billion people died on the [Bm]news tonight[A]
But not so many cried at the [Bm]terrible sight
Well mama s[A]aid

So baby close your eyes to the lullabie[D]s[Dm]
On the n[A]ews tonight[Bm]
[A]Who's the one to decide that it would[Bm] be alright[A]
To put the music behind the [Bm]news tonight
Well mama sa[A]id
You can't believe everything you hear[C#m]
The diagetic world is so uncle[Bm]ar
So baby close your ears[D] [Dm]
