[Verse 1]
Give us twenty minutes and we'll give you the world
We bring good things to life
The news you need from people you can count on
Doing what we do best
The heartbeat of America (Heartbeat of America)
Your true voice (Your true voice)
You're in good hands (You're in good hands)
Now more than ever before (Now more than ever before)

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the flickering light and the comforting glow
You get the world every night as a TV show
The latest spin on the shit we're in, blow by blow
And the more you watch, the less you know

[Chorus]
Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light, the generations go
Heading for the information wars

[Bridge]
Do people really spend millions upon millions
To make us think we care about the planet
At the same time polluting and looting the only world we've got
So they can maximize their profit?
People do
[Verse 2]
The heartbeat of America (The heartbeat of America)
Your true voice (Your true voice)
For the life of your business (For the life of your business)
It's everywhere you want to be (It's everywhere you want to be)

[Pre-Chorus]
And there's a front row seat for the precious few
The latest war as a pay-per-view
Famine and disaster right in front of you
And the more you watch, the less you do

[Chorus]
Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light the generations go
Heading for the information wars
