Nothing Is Real Melanie

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 death in the land, oh no
