If there's one thing that I can't explain Is 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 No, We can't get in touch with who we're hating So turn on, turn on, turn on the news, 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 fill with refugees now Doctors finding out about disease With all this uptight pushing and shoving That keeps us away from who we're loving Who we're loving Keeps us away from who we should be loving So turn on, turn on, turn on the news Turn on, turn on, turn on the news Turn on, turn on, turn on the news So turn on, turn on, turn on the news Turn on, turn on, turn on the news Turn on, turn on, turn on the news You got to turn it on You got to turn it on Turn it on Turn it on Turn it on Turn it on Turn it on
