The News / Natural Mystic - Jack Johnson (杰克·约翰逊)

Why do many people die on the news tonight

Not so many cry at the temple side

Mama said let'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 will be alright

To put the music behind the news tonight

Mama said you can't believe everything you hear

That daddy told it was so unclear

So baby close your ears on the news tonight

On the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight

We used to read a fairytale to our children

Send them off the dream with the conversation

Now we just switch on the television

How they gonna learn to love in no imagination

Send them off the dream with too much information

Gonna learn to love with no imagination

Mmmmmmm

Why don't the news cast describe when they read

About people who die

Least they could be decent enough to

Put just a tear in their eyes

Mama said let's just make believe

You can't believe everything you see

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

On the news tonight

'Cause an optimistic blowing through the air

And if you listen carefully now you will hear

This could be my first trumpet

Might as well be the last

Many more will have to suffer

Many more will have to die

Don't ask me why

'Cause things are not the way it's meant to be now

Won't tell no lies
