Don’t Watch The News Songtext
von Loftheads

It′s only ever boring
Don't watch the news round here
Comes on with a BANG
An onomatopoeia

I′m fearful for this country
I dread it all the time
We never see a story
That doesn't involve crime

It's just a fix
To cause a commotion
Overdressed
Propaganda promotion

It′s all a fix
As you turn on tonight′s
6 pm show
What do we really need to know?


Attention
Attention
Listen please
What's the latest outbreak
What′s the new disease

Attention
Attention
Listen clear
Stick to our advice
Don't go out and live in fear

It′s only ever boring, don't watch the news round here

Built in generations
So it′s on in the background
You think that you're not listening
Coz you haven't heard a sound

But Subliminal messages
Are going round and round
It′s only ever depression
And hurt that I have found

It hasn′t been a problem
Since you put down your last book
And transferred to a phone
That's smart enough to chance your luck


And now that you are feeling
Different ways you never should
You turn on the TV
To see another clever hook

Attention
Attention
Listen please
What′s the latest outbreak
What's the new disease

Attention
Attention
Listen clear
Stick to our advice
Don′t go out and live in fear

It's only ever boring, don′t watch the news round here

It's all a fix
To cause a commotion
Overdressed
Propaganda promotion

It's all a fix
As you turn on tonight′s
6 pm show
What do we really need to know?

It′s only ever boring, don't watch the news round here
It′s only ever boring, don't watch the news round here
