Modest Apollo - New World News Lyrics

With your eyes wide open
But your tongue tied
And a world barely coping with
All the strangers that have died
Has your screen turned static?
And your mind followed suit
Fatigued by your compassion
Every channel a new taboo

And the dogs are howling
They sense a storm coming on
A televised apocalyptic rapture
And all innocence is gone

With faithful hands outreaching
But their tongues keeping you away
It's hard to believe what they're preaching
When you watch the news of the day
When the best lack all conviction
And the worst do follow through
Different gods creating friction, and
Your leaders bring it to you

And the hounds are howling
They sense a storm coming on
A televised apocalyptic rapture
And all innocence is gone

It's just the new world news
(We're just blind and confused)
It's just the new world news
It's just the new world news
(We're all blind and confused)
It's just the new world news
