Written by Jack Johnson

	  		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,  
C#m  
You can't believe everything you see,  
      Bm                          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
 C#m                           
The diagetic world is so unclear  
   Bm                 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.  
               A   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  
    C#m                              
You can't believe everything you see  
     Bm                            D      Dm  
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies  
                  A  
On the news tonight."
