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 6 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), I got news for you, (I got news)
Let’s 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), I got news for you, (I got news)
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, the world is burning down
Big bucks, big greed are running us right into the ground
Of course we don’t want to be naïve and blind
But if the news is all we’re seeing, love is hard to find

I got news for you, (I got news), I got news for you, (I got news)
Let’s 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), I got news for you, (I got news)
Just turn it off, don’t take the bait, let’s see the good in fellow souls and leave behind the hate

There’s nothing good in what the news is paid to report
We see with our own eyes that life is too short

I got news for you, (I got news), I got news for you, (I got news)
Let’s 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), I got news for you, (I got news)
Just turn it off, don’t take the bait, This ain't news, let’s go to bed, we got no time for hate

I’ve got news (for you), I’ve got news (for you)
