Don't Read The Newspaper

Don't you read the newspaper. 
Don't you go down that road. 
Don't drown yourself in events of yesterday.
Let a few things go. 

Who cares about the person killed last night? 
Or if a village of people was slain?
Who gives a damn if someone lost their father?
Or if someone stole everything you saved?

WE DON'T WANNA KNOW HOW HE GOT THAT SCAR. 
Or why there's a hole in his head.
We don't care if they also raped his daughter. 
He's just lying there; he's already dead. 

So never read the newspaper. 
These things, you don't need to know. 
After all, they're not happening to you or your loved ones, 
So it's probably all just a show.
