Paramore - The News Lyrics

 Paramore - The News Lyrics

War

A war

A war

On the far side

On the other side of the planet

And I've got

War

A war

A war

Right behind my eyes

Right behind em just like a headache

So I turn on

The news

Turn off

The news

Every second our collective heart breaks

All together every single head shakes

Shut your eyes but it won’t go away

Turn on

Turn off

The news

Far

I’m far

So far

From a front line

Quite the opposite I’m safe inside

But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer and that’s just barely scratched the

surface of my mind

So I turn on the news

Turn off the news (damned if you don't)

Turn on the news (damned if you do)

Turn off the news

Every second our collective heart breaks

All together every single head shakes

Shut your eyes but it won’t go away

Turn on

Turn off

The news

Exploitative

Performative

Informative

We don’t know the half of it

Rhetorical

Deplorable

Historical

And all along we called it normal

All along we call it normal

Every second our collective heart breaks

All together every single head shakes

Don't get comfortable, don't look away

Turn on

Turn off

Nothing new
