时间：2019-01-11 作者：英语课 分类：美国乡村音乐
A billion 1 people died 3 on the news 4 tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible 5 sight 6
Well mama said 7
It's just make believe 8
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 9 that it would 10 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 11 on the news tonight
And mama said
hm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die 2?
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
