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.
