Don't Read the News Listen to MP3

Write a letter, try to explain Away the things that you’ve seen Though they’re just as real As anything you might care to bring That you think it’s a trick Is a signpost on a map You will talk talk talk Until you think you’ve got it down pat Believe what you want As long as you fake it Deceive all you want You can never make it Grieve all you want As long as you Don’t read the news Don’t read the news You don’t read the news You don’t read the news Write a letter, try to explain Away the things that you’ve heard You’ve missed the best half Because you weren’t listening

Afraid to believe, you don’t know Where it all might lead So write a letter, tell me It’s only a matter of time Believe what you want As long as you fake it Deceive all you want You can never make it Grieve all you want As long as you Don’t read the news Don’t read the news You don’t read the news You don’t read the news You say you can’t make it And then you stop coming around Why don’t you take it And spread it all over the town?

Believe what you want As long as you fake it Deceive all you want You can never make it Grieve all you want As long as you Don’t read the news Don’t read the news You don’t read the news You don’t read the news Believe what you want As long as you fake it Deceive all you want You can never make it Grieve all you want As long as you Don’t read the news Don’t read the news You don’t read the news You don’t read the news
