| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| And we don’t know the half of it |
| Rhetorical |
| Deplorable |
| Historical |
| And all along we called it normal |
