[Verse 1]
Everybody's going to the movies
Everybody's leaving for the show
Seems as if we've lost the nerves for feeling
And no one's in the mood to want to know

[Chorus 1]
I've got news for you
This is not a game
I've got news for you
Are you listening?
I've got news for you
We are all the same
And when that is understood
We can start to live again

[Verse 2]
Can you look inside and tell me
That your emptiness is just a state of mind
And you'll feel better if you just keep busy
If you leave your feelings all behind?
Oh

[Chorus 2]
I've got news for you
This is not a game
I've got news for you
Are you listening?
I've got news for you
We are all to blame
And when that is understood
We can start to live again
Oh, yes, when that is understood
We can start to live again
Oh, start to live again
People, people, tell me, where have we been?
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Ever feel as if your heart is whispering
Like a special voice you never heard before?
And something deep inside your soul is ticking
As if someone was pounding on the door
Hoo

[Chorus 3]
I've got news for you
This is not a game
I've got news for you
Are you listening?
I've got news for you
We are all the same
I've got news for you
This is not a game
I've got news for you
We are all to blame
And when that is understood
We can start to live again
Yes, when that is understood
We can start to live again

(He loves you, baby, baby, ooh, la, la)
Yes, when that is understood
We can start to live, start to live again
Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh
Whoa, oh, oh
Start to live again
Oh, oh
