I Got News for You

I used to wake up in the morning to the news on NPR
Listening to the turmoil both near and far Each night at six o’clock I’d watch the news
on CBS
But everything I saw was making me a mess
I got news for you
I got news for you
Just turn it off let’s go outside The world is far more beautiful Than the news implies
I got news for you
I got news for you
Just turn it off don’t take the bait Let’s see the good in fellow souls and leave behind the hate
If the news is all we’re seeing
Then the world is burning down
Big bucks big greed are running us right into
the ground
Of course we don’t want to be naive and blind But if the news is all we’re seeing
Then love is hard to nd
I got news for you
I got news for you
Just turn it off let’s go outside
he world is far more beautiful Than the news implies
I got news for you
I got news for you
Let’s turn it off, don’t take the bait Let’s look for the good in fellow souls And leave behind the hate.
Instrumental
There’s nothing good in what the news is paid to report
We see with our own lives that life is too short
I got news for you
Just turn it off
Don’t take the bait
This ain’t news, let’s go to bed We got no time to hate
