[Lyrics]
War
A war
A war
On the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got
War
A war
A war
Right behind my eyes
Right behind em just like a headache

So I turn on
The news
Turn off
The news

Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes but it won’t go away
Turn on
Turn off
The news

Far
I’m far
So far
From a front line
Quite the opposite I’m safe inside
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer and that’s just barely scratched the
surface of my mind

So I turn on the news
Turn off the news (damned if you don't)
Turn on the news (damned if you do)
Turn off the news

Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes but it won’t go away
Turn on
Turn off
The news

Exploitative
Performative
Informative
We don’t know the half of it
Rhetorical
Deplorable
Historical
And all along we called it normal

All along we call it normal

Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Don't get comfortable, don't look away
Turn on
Turn off
Nothing new

Man it's crazy to think I really grew up listening to Paramore. I'm 28 now. Still just as obsessed with them as I was at the age of 12. Thank you for blessing us with your art ❤️

[JasonGuitarHand]

This has old Paramore energy within the walls of the new sound. It's really an impressive song.

[SySoBa]

the lyrics, the relevance, the sound, the energy, the power, the artistry, the authenticity, the conviction and sincerity.... perfect rock soundtrack to 2023. Paramore continue to put out great stuff consistently. So excited to see them live again!!!

[coltbolt]

Being able to balance their original sound while evolving it to a modern sound is what makes paramore so great. Few bands from that era have been able to achieve that. Such a great song!

[moomoo]

Taylor is incredibly talented. We don’t talk about him enough.

[constantina_nikol]

I'm so glad I'm still growing up with them. They expressed my feelings as an angsty teen, they expressed the struggle with mental health as an adult and now they're making music, commenting on the social and political madness, where we need to survive.
Thank you guys for existing and making music, the same time that we are alive, you had and will always have one of the most special places in my heart ❤

[madleykool]

That's what I call a music video. Paramore never disappoints and here they dropped yet again another masterpiece.

[PrincessZ]

Why is this band so perfect? Perfect singer. Perfect guitarist. Perfect drummer. Perfect bassist.

[flavialucca]

15 years as a paramore fan and Im still amazed by them

[joaquinlopez]

This is going to be one of their greatest albums, love they're bringing back the old paramore sound combining with very meaningful lyrics

[lifenoggin]

My body and brain are not ready for what this album will do to me.

[Jbm]

I love when music es relevant to everyone. “Every second our collective hearts break” has never been so powerful to me. These are the words I could not find when I was feeling despair. Thank you Hayley for conveying my feelings.

[francismendy]

I like how this song also sounds a lot like some of their old songs while adding some new elements to their sound. Great job as always, Paramore!👏👏

[rhiannonwaller]

The music, the looks, Hayley’s voice, the back story, the video I have no words to describe how much I’m loving this era of Paramore so far!

[zeenaz]

This woman. This band. This music. This song. All songs before. spiritual healing for me. It's like it goes right through my veins. I love them since 2009 and will never stop. It's always the right moment the right song. Hayley is inspiration - an idol!

[karisfunkartist]

Hayley's lyrics continue to blow my mind with how relevant they are, not only to my own thoughts and emotions, but the world around us. I love how Paramore keeps enough of their original sound to pique our interest, but also grows with every album. I absolutely loved Petals For Armor, and my ears are thrilled that she brought a lot of what I loved about her solo work over to the band.

[hannahluya]

I love how Paramore connects with me in every era no matter where I am in life. They just get me.

[Vrch]

I remember having Paramore play in my headphones while going to school, relating to having a crush and a whole spectrum of emotions that they managed to transmit over a song.
And today, sitting in front of my computer in war-torn Ukraine, I feel like this song has hit me DEEP, like no other song did for a long time. I feel heard

[LYRICS]

War, a war, a war on the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes
Right behind 'em just like a headache

So I turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Every second, our collective heart brеaks
All together, evеry single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind

So I turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)
Turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along, we called it normal

Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along, we called it normal
All along we called it normal

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

I could be imagining things but I feel since Josh left the band, it's given Hayley a chance to really bring more angst and depth to the lyrics that was always dying to come out in their earlier work, as Josh tended to keep the riffs light and funky. She has some dark stories and lessons to tell and I feel she finally has more of a chance to do this and with it bring impact
