[Verse 1]
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 them just like a headache

[Pre-Chorus]
So I turn on the news
Turn off the news

[Chorus]
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 brеaks
All together, evеry single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won`t go away
Turn on, turn off the news

[Verse 2]
Far, I`m far, so far from the 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


[Pre-Chorus]
So I turn on the news
Turn off the news
Turn on the news
Turn off the news

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don`t know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along, we called it normal
Exploitative, performative (Turn on)
Informative and we don`t know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable (Turn off)
Historical, and all along, we called it normal
All along, we called it normal


[Chorus]
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
