[Verse 1:]
I left the TV on last night
I took one look and there it is
A mother screaming at the sky
Another body turned to mist
[Chorus:]
I don’t want to read the news today
Every headline brings me pain
I swipe it down
But it still stays
In my brain
Cuz the world keeps burning anyway
And I can’t take it anymore
[Verse 2:]
Another war that’s not my war
But still it cuts right through my door
We talk in terms of right and wrong
Depending on which side you’re on
[Chorus:]
I don’t want to read the news today
Every headline brings me pain
I swipe it down
But it still stays
In my brain
Cuz the world keeps burning anyway
And I can’t take it anymore
[Bridge:]
Oppression
Corruption
Incitement
Destruction
[Outro:]
Every time I close my eyes
I find myself inside their shoes
Different people, different places
Differences in point of view
How am I suppose to hate
A child for where he was born
Children turn to men who make decisions off the scars they formed
Oh no
We’re all victim to the algorithms
Engineered to sow division
Paranoia, superstition, war
I don’t wanna read the new edition
Ain’t no point, its never different
I can’t take it
I can’t take no more
