The News Lyrics - The Point Of It All - Anthony Hamilton

A billion people died on the news tonight 

But not so many cried at the terrible sight 

Well mama said 

It's just make believe 

You can't believe everything you see 

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies 

On the news tonight 

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright 

To put the music behind the news tonight 

Well mama said 

You can't believe everything you hear 

The diagetic world is so unclear 

So baby close your ears 

On the news tonight 

On the news tonight 

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight 

And mama said 

Mm 

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die 

At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes 

Mama said 

It's just make believe 

You can't believe everything you see 

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies 

On the news tonight
