Newsman Sing me the blues, man Please don't cry I've seen the images I've heard the screams I need you to tell me how to feel about the whole thing, yeah? It's all so horrible I'm inconsolable Why don't you sing me something anyway, yeah? Sing me a lullaby I'd like to sleep tonight I've been staring at the news for five days Newswoman There's a bad storm coming Don't look so afraid You've got a tidy script You'd be wise to stick to it We know that we'll be fucked when we wake up But please just tell us we'll be safe, yeah We'll all be watching you So sing us a tune or two Isn't that what you get paid so much to do, yeah? Sing us a lullaby We just might sleep tonight Maybe we can dream the news away, yeah Maybe we can dream the news away, yeah Maybe we will dream the news away.
