Point the camera at the baby,
Shoot the mother giving birth.
Watch the blood run down the table,
Close-up to the after-birth.
Newsreel.
Newsreel.
Push the mike into the mouth of the wound,
Tape the sound of fading life.
Edit out the sounds of displease,
Ask the feelings of a dead man's wife.
Newsreel.
Newsreel.
Pretend the camera doesn’t change things,
To me and you it chooses only one eye.
A soldier poses, then pulls the trigger,
Wipes his hands and waves good-bye.
Newsreel.
Newsreel.
