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
C#m                                      
You can't believe everything you see

   Bm                                  D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

        A                     Bm
On the news tonight

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
C#m                            Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear

                          D        Dm
So baby close your ears

             Bm
On the news tonight

               F#m
On the news tonight

   Bm                             F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
A       E
Mmmmmmmmmm

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
Mama said

                        C#m
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
Bm                                       D         Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

           A                    Bm             A
On the news tonight
