THE TRUTH IS JUST ONE OPTION, AN OPTION I RATHER NOT USE
IF YOU DON’T MIND, I’LL JUST WATCH THE NEWS

SEE THE NEWS IS NEVER THAT CLEVER, AND THEY KEEP THINGS NICE AND LIGHT
PRETTY FACES THAT ARE NONE TOO BRIGHT

Bridge:
NPR IS TOO DEPRESSING
NEWSPAPERS STAIN MY HANDS

I DON’T MIND CONFESSING, THERE ARE THINGS I DON’T UNDERSTAND
I’M ABOUT AS DEEP AS THE RIO GRANDE

(SOLO)

I’LL TAKE A WEATHERMAN THAT’S SO GOSH DARN FRIENDLY, BUT NEVER GETS THINGS RIGHT
OVER A GLOOMY NOAM CHOMPSKY-ITE

SO, I WILL KEEP ON WATCHING THE NEWS AT 5, 6 AND 10
I MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON, BUT I CAN PRETEND
