Every time I turn on the TV click to the news and I see is bad things happening
People dying and people killing
and everybody amplifying destruction and chaos all around the world
Every time I see it it makes my stomach curl

We've gotta make up for all the mistakes that have been made
and the way the media portrays the day
in the life of someone else as some stupid celebrity
the media takes a good story and pumps it full of evil
and i'm getting fed up with the whole deal
and everyday people are upset with the world itself
and i'm stuck in the middle of a growing trend
where friends aren't friends until the end
they'll stab each other in the back for little recognition
before they know what to do they're down to zero and nobody wants to know them

[Chorus:]
Freight train headed for me
and i can't see a thing
freight train headed for me
freight train of destruction like a punch in the face

News at 6 o'clock eleven eleven thirty
all i see is people dying
CNN and all the terrorists
when will this cycle of shit begin to end?

Every time i look at the news paper
i see the headlines saying things and jumping out at me
more modern war stories, more things to worry about
the list is piling up and it seems that i can't do a thing about it
the media makes fun of it and we have to live it

Every time I turn on the TV click to the news and I see it's some bad things happening
People dying and people killing
and everybody amplifying destruction and chaos all around the world
Every time I see it it makes my stomach curl
