Текст песни News - Jack

Turning on the radio
The speaker reads his lines
About a Palestinian boy
Who stepped on a mine
Babies in the Teneré
Still crying out for food
Choking on a crust of bread
But I am far away and it's only news

A woman living right next door
Was murdered by her son
I would have seen the funeral
But was held up by channel one
Last night I got home too late
So I missed the shooting in Beijing
All the blood on Tiananmen
But if we're lucky
They will show it again

Heaven, can you help me
For I'm trying to understand
What keeps me staring
And I consume with loaded hands
Can anybody tell me
What does it take to blow the fuse
That guarantees the fact
That I'm addicted to news

Destroying the environment
We're using too much fuel
The trash is drowning us
But what can I do?
The days are getting warmer now
And it won't be long before we're through
Is what we hear a thousand times
So please tell me, what else is new?

Heaven, can you help me
For I'm just trying to see
What keeps me staring
Like it was coming on MTV
Can anybody tell me
What does it take to blow the fuse
'Cause as a matter of fact
I'm addicted to news

Ooh, oh no no
Ooh, I'm addicted to news
Ooh, oh no no

Ooh, oh no no
Heaven, can you help me
For I'm trying to understand
What keeps me staring
And I consume with loaded hands
Can anybody tell me
What does it take to blow the fuse
That guarantees the fact
That I'm addicted to news

Heaven, can you help me
For I'm just trying to see
What keeps me staring
Like it was coming on MTV
Can anybody tell me
What does it take to blow the fuse
As a matter of fact
I'm addicted to news
