The News (feat. The Linda Lindas)

Paramore

The News (feat. The Linda Lindas)

(A war)

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

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 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

So I turn on the news
Turn off (turn on, turn off the news)
Turn on the news
Turn off

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

Exploitativo, performativo
Informativo y no sabemos ni mitad
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical and, all along, we called it normal
Exploitativo, performativo
Informativo y no sabemos ni mitad
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical and, all along, we called it normal
All along, we called it normal

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

The News (feat. The Linda Lindas)

(A conflict)

Conflict, a conflict, a conflict on the distant side
On the opposite side of the globe
And I've got conflict, a conflict, a conflict right behind my eyes
Right behind them just like a migraine

So I switch on the news
Switch off the news

Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news
Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news

Distant, I'm distant, so distant from the front line
Quite the opposite, I'm secure indoors
But I fret and I donate money and I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely touching the surface of my thoughts

So I switch on the news
Switch off (switch on, switch off the news)
Switch on the news
Switch off

Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news
Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news

Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't even know half
Rhetorical, disgraceful
Historical and, all along, we considered it normal
Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't even know half
Rhetorical, disgraceful
Historical and, all along, we considered it normal
All along, we considered it normal

Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news
Every moment, our shared heart shatters
All at once, every single head shakes
Close your eyes, but it lingers
Switch on, switch off the news
