A billion people died on the news tonight

But not so many cried at the terrible sight

You can't believe everything you see
[Chorus]

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

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight

[Chorus]
D Dm
So baby close your ears

On the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die

It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
[Chorus]
Bm D Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
A Bm A
On the news tonight
