The Hawkshaws - The Way the News Goes Lyrics

I pledge allegiance, to the day
We finally go our separate ways
Again I'm wrong and still I'm stuck
With all the girls who make bad luck
But she needs sun lamps, she needs food stamps
Smashing windows in her basement
Using sharps on, holidays
Her minds and ash covered Pompei

Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
She said don't play hero, don't play god
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)

She wants action, I want traction
We can't get no, satisfaction
It's always dark before she strikes
And so I've learned to hate the night
Keep your lovers, undercover
But we're too drunk to love each other
To love each other

Tomorrow never comes cause
She's never having fun
She hides and i'll just hum
That's the way the news goes
What are we running from
Screaming with an iron lung
Our hearts are smart our minds are young
That's the way the news goes

Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
She said don't play hero, don't play god
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
Don't make friends with a lightning rod
(Oh, oh oh oh oh)
