G Did you watch the news today? G Did you hear what they said? Am One thousand more people passed away Am C G Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on G New York, New York, big city of dreams C There's a nightmare goin' down from the Bronx to Queens Am And everywhere in between D G We fighting somethin' we can't even see G There's an invisible enemy G Just knocked out Italy Am Keep the mask on 'cause if you cough they gon' look at you like you did a felony C And they said we can't hug nobody D G Not until we find a remedy G So we pray for Spain, France, and the U.K. Am China and U.S.A., I pray we gon' be okay C Pray for the grandmas and grandpas D G So they can live to see another day G Did you watch the news today? G Did you hear what they said? Am They say don't worry folks, it's all a hoax Am The news is fake and it's all a joke C The death toll's rising with broken hopes D Now they got the cure and a antidote G Inject yourself with a bleach or soap G And a checks in the mail 'cause they know we're broke G Did you watch the news today? G Did you hear what they said? Am They said no one's alive to see the pope Am It's a ghost town coast to coast C We're just people that's tryna cope D From different sides with different strokes G Livin' different lives from different tribes G But everybody's in the same boat G Did you hear the news today? G They say the world is one Am 'Cause we're all fighting a war Am But nobody pick up a gun C We got nurses and doctors D They fightin' in the front line, savin' lifes G I'm waitin' in line, I'm frightened G In the store, ah, that's the hero G Behind the counter G They makin' the world go round Am Riskin' new encounters C They in the front line D G Dying for the minimum wage G Did you watch the news today? G Did you hear what they said? Am They say stay in the house, don't step out Am If you step out, put the mask on the mouth C Six feet back, virus attack D Soap on the hands so your lungs don't collapse G Don't know the truth, don't know the facts G Ro-ro killin' all the brown and the black G COVID-19 got us on our knees Am Got the temperature risin', 106 degrees C It don't care if you speak Cantonese D G François or Portuguese, Español or Japanese G Gotta start sayin', "I can't breathe" G Ah, isn't it ironic? G C When we can't breathe, the planet breathes C D And we can see blue sky, blue seas, green leaves, birds and bees G I don't know what to believe G All the lies or conspiracies G Aw, did you hear the news today? G Did you hear what they said? Am One thousand more people passed away Am C G Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on G And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on G On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on G Somebody tell me what's going on
