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
