Lyrics

TURNED ON THE TV NEWS - ENOUGH TO MAKE YA LOSE-
ANY FAITH YOU'VE EVER HAD IN MANKIND.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY - ANOTHER SUICIDE - ANOTHER SHOOTING AT THE FIVE & DIME.

THATS THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEWS TODAY-
WE ONLY HEAR WHAT THEY GET PAID SAY.
WE WANT THE TRUTH, TO HELL WITH YOUR RATING

THEY JUST DON'T THINK AHEAD, THEY KNOW THAT THEY'LL BE DEAD,
YOU KNOW THEY'LL NEVER HAVE TO FACE OUR PROBLEMS.............
HOLES IN THE ATMOSPHERE, KILLING THE BEARS,
SAVE A LITTLE FOR THE GOOGLE CHILDREN...........

SO WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEWS TODAY?
WE'RE ONLY HEARING WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY.
TO KEEP US SCARED THEY DISTORT EVERYTHING.....

CANT STAND TO WATCH BUT I CANT SEEM TO TURN AWAY
NON-STOP DEPRESSING STORIES EACH AND EVERY DAY

NEWS BREAK ON CHANNEL 3- PLANE CRASHES IN THE SEA
ANOTHER FUN DAY PACKED WITH SEX AND VIOLENCE

YOU KNOW THAT HE DONT CARE -THE NETWORK BILLIONAIRE
HE MAKES HIS MONEY OFF OF TRAGEDY.

SO WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH OUR LEADERS TODAY?
THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POWER AND PAY.
TO GET THEIR OIL THEY'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING - THEY'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING..

I KNOW IM NOT THE FIRST TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL-
I THINK THE RIGHT-SIDE IS THE WRONG-SIDE - DONT YOU AGREE?????/???/??

WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD TODAY?
TOO MANY PROBLEMS BUT WHO'S TO BLAME?
THEY POSE RELIGION WHEN THEY CANT EXPLAIN---- CAN'T EXPLAIN
WE'RE TO BLAME----------------- WE - ARE - ALL - TO - BLAME
