Turn On The News

(album: Zen Arcade - 1984)

If there's one thing that I can't explain
It's why the world has to have so much pain
With all the ways of communicating
We can't get in touch with who we're hating
(Who we're hating)
And now we can't get in touch with who we're hating

So turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news

I hear it every day on the radio
Somebody shoots a guy he don't even know
Airplanes falling out of the sky
A baby is born and another one dies
Highways filled with refugees
Doctors finding out about disease
With all this uptight pushing and shoving
Keeps us away from who we're loving
(Who we're loving)
It keeps us away from who we should be loving

So turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news

Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
Turn on (turn on)
The news (turn on)
You got to turn it on (turn on)
You got to turn it on (turn on)
Turn it on (turn on)
Turn it on (turn on)
Turn it on (turn on)
Turn it on (turn on)
Turn it on (turn on)
