A                            Bm
A billion people died on the news tonight
A                            Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
            A
And mama said, "It's just make believe,
Bm
You can't believe everything you see,
      D            Dm                 A          D     Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
                 A
On the news tonight."
A                                     Bm
Who's the one to decide that it would be all right
A                           Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight?
             A
Well mama said, "You can't believe everything you hear
 Bm                        D
The diagetic world is so unclear
       Dm             A
So baby close your ears"
 
                 Bm

   D        Dm                     A
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight.
               F#m   E
And mama said, "Mmm, mmm."
A
Why don't the newscasters cry 
                     Bm
When they read about people who die?
A
At least they could be decent enough 
              Bm
To put just a tear in their eye.
           A
But mama said, "It's just make believe
    Bm
You can't believe everything you see
      D           Dm                   A       D      Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
                  A
On the news tonight."
