Our lives get so busy that we don't hear the television in the background telling us that the oceans are dying. Jen on acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass and vocals.

I know we're all brainwashed with an overload of bad news...day in and day out. While I was trying to get ready for work one morning - between finding my shoes and drinking a coffee, checking my e-mail and voicemail - in the background...On the News...a child was crying.
A sarcastic chorus tells us to not let it get us down...just turn away.

Got my first cup of coffee and turn on the news
Check my e-mail and my voicemail and try and find my shoes
There are people killing people on the news
Put some bread into the toaster and I get my second cup
take a look at my daytimer and put on my makeup
Oh the oceans are dying on the news
Take a shower, brush my teeth and try to comb my hair
Look for something in the closet that I can wear
Oh, a child is crying on the news
