the morning

I read the paper

F#m

In the evening I watch the news

F#m 
G 
I sit there in my armchair
A 
F#m 
D 
I stare, flip, switch, peruse
G 
D 
The stories and the pictures
F#m 
For me there's no escape
G 
I read all about it
A

See it live, see it on tape

It's there in living color
D

It's plain in black and white

Things just go on happening
They go wrong,

things aren't right

Verse 4
G 
Every day's a battle
A 
D 
In a war that you just lose
G 
And I'm there in my armchair
D 
F#m 
Safe from the world outside
G 
To leave this locked apartment
A 
D 
Would be suicide
G 
My windows have bars on them
D 
F#m 
I'm safe so it seems
G 
Outside I hear the sirens
A 
Sometimes I hear the screams
