Breaking News Songtext
Yeah
I see pain in the eyes that I view (Yeah I see it)
This breaking news really ain′t new (Really ain't)
This breaking news really ain′t new (Nah really ain't)
It really ain't
Listen
Breaking news
New bodies in the body bag
A boy lost the man he used to call dad
A girl will never see her mother smile again
At the funeral they cry for the life that she never had
How many lives lost at the hands
Of a nemesis?
With a sad plot so damaging
A terrorist, anarchist
Someone who was pulled or forced
To the dark side like Anakin?
I′m balancing my thoughts
Rallying the hope
I′m paddling to the shore
Now I was pretty sure this land was quite safe
While the enemy grew up on our shores
Valley of the shadow of death it feels close
Every time I turn up the news and move close
Bedtime stories help the kids sleep well
Now we're hearing stories of babies on beach shells
Rest in peace Alan Kurdi
I hope that you sleep well
A life cut short
He was trying to leave hell
Tryna find the better life that I live
If I was in the same position what would I give?
Many kids wishing they could be in my shoes
Souls lost in the sea
What do we do?
Feeling kinda powerless to minimise feuds
War in another land
I can′t even understand
How it must feel
Fearing for your life
Running to the high hills
Only to get there and told to go back
Borderline beef
This is borderline peak
Nah
It's more than that
It′s more like bad dreams
More like nightmares when they feel real
And you feel trapped in your sleep
It hits deep
Mothers lying down six feet
The graveyard stealing heart beats
Can I get a heart please?
Apathy running deep in the veins
Of the people living in the west
So I spray these syllables
Aiming for your heart
Always clinical
Hoping that I strike a chord with you, umbilical
Tell me why my heart feeling cynical
And why I see the pain of these individuals
Through my digital device and I only really do the minimal
Give a retweet
Then I move to the next
Repeat, then again
Ah, never stress
You pretend it could never be you on the other end
Looking for help from those on the other end
And wondering why change didn't come in the end
We gotta start spreading love from our ends
Love the ones beside you
Whether or not they ride for you
Tomorrow′s not promised but know this
Today is our chance to change
We're not hopeless, ah
I see pain in the eyes that I view yeah (Yeah I see it)
This breaking news really ain't new (Really ain′t)
This breaking news really ain′t new
Wanna see change in the eyes that I view (I wanna see it)
This breaking news really ain't new (Really ain′t)
This breaking news really ain't new (Nah really ain′t)
It really ain't
I wait for you
I don′t know why
All I know is I can't hide
I wait for you
I don't know why
All I know is I can′t hide
I see pain in the eyes that I view (Yeah I see it)
This breaking news really ain′t new (Really ain't)
This breaking news really ain′t new (Nah really ain't)
It really ain't
