The News Lyrics

I saw the news today, oh yeah

Seems like we've gone and wrecked it all

When will we ever learn

To think before we burn

Before we burn this all away

I watched the news today, oh no

I hope your hate is just for show

It might sell clicks, or views, or papers

But all of this is made for us

To burn this all away

And I might be stupid

Yeah, I might be dumb

I might be a fool for believing in you

But I do

Maybe this is all my dream

If it is, I wanna scream

We're all on the same team

And our house is on fire

I saw the news today, I guess

This search for truth seems like a never-ending quest

I've got no strength or time or energy

To make you all my enemies

Just to watch this burn away

I checked the news today, oh yeah

Seems like the world is gonna end

Again

Looks like we're comin' to a junction

When we finally learn to function

Or burn this all away

And I might be stupid

Yeah, I might be dumb

I might be a fool for believing in you

But I do

Maybe this is all my dream

If it is, I wanna scream

We're all on the same team

And our house is on fire

But every time that I look around all I see

Is the lies and the hate and the worst disease

That ever made its way across all the seven seas

The same evil

That calls this the colonies,

Can't you see

But the lies you accepted don't mean the facts

Aren't severely neglected

The things that you think and the statues erected

Don't mean the genocide should ever be respected

Oh you still the Brown should assimilate

In a world full of hate you create

You dictate to escape in a news that is fake

Then long for a time you call great

Outlawing facts in the schools

While even fools know all the rules

Are just tools to abuse those who choose to know

The truth of a society that lies and says it thrives

Through adversity with diversity

But the worst to me

If you lie and try to deny

What the whole damn world can see

And I might be stupid

Yeah, I might be dumb

I might be a fool for believing in you

I still do

Yeah,

Or maybe this is all my dream

If it is, I wanna scream

We're all on the same team

And our house is on fire

I hope you see the light

The fire's burnin' bright

I hope you finally take the time

To learn

I hope you see the truth

It lives deep in you

And Understand

That this is still

Indigenous land
