The News


Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money
And I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind

So I turn on the news
Turn off the news

Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it

Turn on, turn off the news

War, a war, a war on the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes

Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Every second, our collective hearts break
All together, every single head shakes
Right behind 'em just like a headache
