Hearing the news ain't like being there Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier Nothing is real unless it's happening to you Don't you know that, hearing the news ain't like being there Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier, Nothing is real unless it's happening to you And because we don't know We're trying to understand And because we don't know We hurt our fellow man And because we don't know We're fitting in the plan Everybody's hurting There's a hurt in the land, don't you know, don't you know
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier, nothing is real unless it's happening to you And because we don't know We're trying to understand And because we don't know We hurt our fellow man An' because we don't know We're fitting in the plan There are people who are living on the d**h in the land, oh no Nothin's like feeling it When it's happening to you Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier Nothing is real unless it's happening to you
