Lyrics
Have you heard?
The news is in the air
They've done it again,
Killed them everywhere
Its been on my mind,
I'm wanting to be blind
Turning away,
Is everybody's way
We change the channel and the picture's gone away
Change the channel and the crime has gone away
You know its time to blame yourself
You know it ain't fine to shame yourself
Have you heard?
The news is everywhere
TV's Showing their crimes,
As we sit there and stare
Change the channel just to send them away,
Turn the volume down and silence their pain.
Hide that pain, hide the rain, hide the flames
Turn away, save you pain,
You know its time to blame yourself
You know it ain't fine to shame yourself
