6 O’Clock News

Cop's on the corner and he loaded six rounds

They won't let me inside to talk you down

K, sweet sister, where'd you get that gun?

You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use

The Covid Nineteen is on the six o'clock news

They cleared the street and then they closed the schools

I can't even get inside

Did you lose your head when the shop went down?

Maybe when your dad died and mom moved to town

And I know you think your shakes make you good for nothing

You scream in your sleep and you feel yourself falling.

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use

there's lives that matter on the six o'clock news

They cleared the street and then they closed the schools

I can't even get inside

K, if you could hold on just a couple more moons

You could look out your window and see me soon.

We could afford a studio down on Locust and Scott

You could do a little work and save my broken heart

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use

We made America Great on the six o'clock news

So they cleared the street and then they closed the schools

I can't even get inside

And I tried to get clean, but I guess it's no use

The cops went ahead and just shot you through

Now you're lying dead on the avenue

And I can't feel my broken heart
