carl jent - Tell Me Some News Lyrics

Turned on the news channel
Just wanted to know what's real
Don't care about politics
Don't care how you feel.

Tell me what happened
Where and what time, tell me what's true
It's not important what you think
Didn't ask your opinion or your view.

You reading from a prompter,
Showing fake emotions, pretending you care
You think you're something special
But only got the job, because of your hair.

Tell me the news, tell the news
Tell me the news, don't tell me your views
Tell me the news, tell me the news
All this fake crap is giving me the blues

Turned on the news channel
Just wanted to know what's real
Don't care about politics
Don't care how you feel.

News is reporting the facts
Not some calculated political spin
Let the people know what's true
News isn't about a paid opinion.

You're in it for money
You'll do anything they say
Don't believe you even know
What really happened today.

Tell me the news, tell the news
Tell me the news, don't tell me your views
Tell me the news, tell me the news
All this fake crap is giving me the blues

Tell me what happened
Where and what time, tell me what's true
It's not important what you think
Didn't ask your opinion or your view.

By reporting the facts
Let the people know what's wrong
Knowledge by the people
Is what makes this country strong.

Power, greed and corruption
Now controls every news event
Is it not the news
To tell us where our freedom went.

Tell me the news, tell the news
Tell me the news, don't tell me your views
Tell me the news, tell me the news
All this fake crap is giving me the blues
