NEWS TODAY - Black Eyed Peas

Did you watch the news today?

Did you hear what they said?

One thousand more people passed away

Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on

New York, New York, big city of dreams

There's a nightmare goin' down from the Bronx to Queens

And everywhere in between

We fighting somethin' we can't even see

There's an invisible enemy

Just knocked out Italy

Keep the mask on 'cause if you cough they gon' look at you like you did a felony

And they said we can't hug nobody

Not until we find a remedy

So we pray for Spain, France, and the U.K.

China and U.S.A., I pray we gon' be okay

Pray for the grandmas and grandpas

So they can live to see another day

Did you watch the news today?

Did you hear what they said?

They say don't worry folks, it's all a hoax

The news is fake and it's all a joke

The death toll's rising with broken hopes

Now they got the cure and a antidote

Inject yourself with the bleach and soap

And a check's in the mail 'cause they know we're broke

Did you watch the news today?

Did you hear what they said?

They said no one's allowed to see the Pope

It's a ghost town coast to coast

We're just people that's tryna cope

From different sides with different strokes

Livin' different lives from different tribes

But everybody's in the same boat

Did you hear the news today?

They say the world is one

'Cause we're all fighting a war

But nobody pick up a gun

We got nurses and doctors

They fightin' in the front line, savin' lifes

I'm waitin' in line, I'm frightened

In the store, ah, that's the hero

Behind the counter

They makin' the world go round

Riskin' new encounters

They in the front line

Dying for the minimum wage

Did you watch the news today?

Did you hear what they said?

They say stay in the house, don't step out

If you step out, put the mask on the mouth

Six feet back, virus attack

Soap on the hands so your lungs don't collapse

Don't know the truth, don't know the facts

Ro-ro killin' all the brown and the black

COVID-19 got us on our knees

Got the temperature risin', 106 degrees

It don't care if you speak Cantonese

François or Portuguese, Español or Japanese

Gotta start sayin', "I can't breathe"

Ah, isn't it ironic?

When we can't breathe, the planet breathes

And we can see blue sky, blue seas, green leaves, birds and bees

I don't know what to believe

All the lies or conspiracies

Aw, did you hear the news today?

Did you hear what they said?

One thousand more people passed away

Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on

And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

Somebody tell me what's going on
