Now people you got to get low
Cause the channel five newscaster said so
Better get me one of them commercial breaks
Cause your headlines they give me such heartaches
Now baby don't look down
Nothing but the front page of the City Times singing the blues
And they get me thinking I'm stepping into battlefields
Every time I put on my already torn shoes
But if trouble's all that you find
And darkness falls all around
I will ease your mind I'll pick you up calm you down
But you know they're the ones who are scared
They know that your remote control it has the power
While they scowl the earth try to fill the hour
We'll be back after this don't miss it now listen
Don't run don't hide turn me up don't change the channel
Lower the flag half mast maybe light some candles
Well if the bombs on the bus
Then turn around man talk about love in the schools
Cause the only love we get is when Paris Hilton's a fuss
Then they're trying to let us know they're running out of bigger bad news
Oh what a sin d*** it ain't come in yet?
But if trouble's all that you find
And darkness falls all around
Like good friends do I'll ease your mind pick you up calm you down
I'll pick you up calm you down
Keep holding on keep holding on
Cause all in all baby cause all in all
Today's newscasters got nothing good to say
Like different cars traveling on the highway
Their cell phones on their swerving in and out of the lane
The news they hear I'm surprised they can stay sane
Cause the channel five newscaster said so
Better get me one of them commercial breaks
Cause your headlines they give me such heartaches
