Good evening,
My name is Insert Name Here.
This is the six o'clock news.
Police are launching a worldwide search
For Somebody
In connection with the disappearance
Of a six-year old child.
Some Child went missing
From her home in Somewhere
Yesterday morning. The police ask
That anyone with information comes forward.
Like anyone would bother
Other people’s kids go missing every day
I’ll keep all my doors locked
I know that my children are safe.
Good evening,
My name is Insert Name Here.
This is the six o'clock news.
Forty-six people including twelve children
were killed in an explosion
Yesterday in Some Country.
As a result of the riots
Caused by Some Extremist Group.
A further two hundred are thought to be
Severely injured.
I’ve never been there
Never heard of them
Don’t they wear funny clothes?
I guess they don’t matter.
Good evening,
My name is Insert Name Here.
This is the six o'clock news.
The body of eighteen-year old Someone
Was found this morning in Somewhere.
She had been missing for six days.
She is believed to have been
Attacked and raped on her way home
From Some Pub, Somewhere,
Late on Saturday night.
My kids aren’t that stupid
She was probably asking for it
Shouldn’t be walking home on her own
It always happens to someone else.
Good evening,
My name is Insert Name Here.
This is the six o'clock news.
Millions of people in Somewhere
Will go hungry this Christmas.
As international donors have
failed to provide enough food.
They have put out an appeal for help
As a result of fears of starvation
During the festive period.
How lucky I am, I suppose
I’m never starving, I’m never cold
But if they stopped having so many children
They’d have no problem over there.
Good evening,
My name is Insert Name Here.
This is the six o'clock news.
I’m telling you the news as it is.
Somewhere, Somebody is in pain.
Some People are dying.
Look through your portal to the world.
Look through at what’s around you.
Pay attention.
This is the six o’clock news.
Wake up.
