Don't Watch The News

by Matt Kaye

/

lyrics

We’re locked in our rooms
Pretending that we walk around
We are concentrating on ourselves
Watching Royal Wedding and fearing the neighbour two doors down

But don’t watch the news
There’s nothing there for you
Don’t watch the news
They’ll only give you the blues

We don’t know how to fight this
We might need a quarantine
Singing songs on Instagram
Losing My Religion and Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen

But don’t watch the news
There’s nothing there for you
Don’t watch the news
They’ll only give you the blues

We don’t know how to fight this
How about self-isolation
Writing poems, buying online
All we need is just a little patience

But don’t watch the news
There’s nothing there for you
Don’t watch the news
They’ll only give you the blues

World leaders want us to feel helpless
World leaders are playing chess
Who’s Your Little Who-zis, they ask us
Then they sneeze at us. God bless!

But don’t watch the news
There’s nothing there for you
Don’t watch the news
They’ll only give you the blues
