Newsreader (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(álbum: The Answer Is Always Yes - 2023)

I'm in love with the newsreader
But she only ever gives me bad news
Every update is doom and gloom
And I know she feels shit about it too
Too bad it's on the autocue

Why's it gotta be like that, baby?
What about the bright side too?
Let's come back tomorrow and maybe
Your spin will change its tune

I'm in love with the newsreader
But I only see her when she's on the clock
Her voice is ringing in the living room
And she's there more nights than she's not
But only from the waist up

Why's it gotta be like that, baby?
What about the bright side too?
Let's come back tomorrow and maybe
Your spin will change its tune
Throw me to the sport and the weather
Make me feel better
Before they send it back to you

More puff pieces and car chases
World and finance news
Gotta get commercial breaks in
Drumming up the views
I'll be watching you

Why's it gotta be like that, baby?
What about the bright side too
Let's come back tomorrow and maybe
Your spin will change its tune
Throw me to the sport and the weather
Make me feel better
Before they send it back to you

I'm in love with the newsreader
But I never know what she's gonna say
The world is such a fucked up place
And it changes every single day
I hope she's gonna be okay
