​the news

[Verse 1]
What you hear on the news
Is just another excuse
For the pain that they cause
What you know, what you've heard
Are the lies of the universe
They all want under your skin
I wasn't worried, but I should've been

[Verse 2]
So would you take a pen
And write down all the things that could've been (Oh)
Or would've been (Oh), were we all happy
If the world was truly in our hands
Would they really stand a chance?
Prove 'em wrong, one by one, lie by lie

[Outro]
But what you hear on the news
Will keep you worried when they want it to
