I am a magnet for broken pieces
I am attracted to broken people
I pick 'em up and now my fingers are bleeding
And it looks like my fault
And it looks like I'm caught red-handed
Hit over the head, epiphanyOver my head, repeatedly
Thick skull never did nothing for me
Same lesson again? Come on, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Only I know where all the bodies are buried
Thought by now I'd find 'em just a little less scary
Might get easier but you don't get used to it
Keep on autopilot, hey, hey
What's the body count up to now, captain?
War
A war
A war
On the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got
War
A war
A war
Right behind my eyes
Right behind 'em just like a headache
So I turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
(Turn on, turn off, the news)
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
(Turn on, turn off, the news)
Far
I'm far
So far
From a front line
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money
And I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind
So I turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
Turn on (the news)
Turn off (the news)
