Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - Turn Off The News (Build A Garden) Lyrics






I believe that every heart is kind
Some of them are just a little underused
Hatred is a symptom of the times
Lost in these uneducated blues

I just want to love you while I can
All these other thoughts have me confused
I don't need to try and understand
Maybe the I'll turn off the fuckin' news

Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free

Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them somethin' to believe in
Teach them now to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see
Turn off the news and build a garden with me

Trust builds trust
And all that negativity's a bust
Trust builds trust
Don't you wanna be happy?

Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free

Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them somethin' to believe in
Teach them now to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see
Turn off the news and build a garden with me
Turn off the news and build a garden with me

  8. J.... ....

    What is it with musicians who make this kind of music, and owning a big ass hat like that.

  9. A.... B....

    I don’t see why anyone likes Jimmy Kimmel but Lukas seems chill.

  10. L.... B....

    Lukas is very serious in this clip, his body language alone is so still & he nearly snarls ‘turn off the news’ his expression is very dour....ive never seen this side of him...he & the band did a great job on this 🎶🎵🎵🎶

  11. M.... M....

    I just watched this performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and I had no idea this was Willie Nelsons son!!!!!!

    M.... M....

  24. G.... B....

    I'm so glad the Willie Nelson legacy will continue in the music of his kids, especially Lukas. I'm thinking another 50 years of this kid would be just fine. Love this band too...kinda Neil...kinda Petty...kinda groovy. Good stuff.

    G.... B....

    Lukas is making his own Legacy!

    G.... B....

    @ClusterHeadSurvivor I know, I agree, but that voice and that heart have their roots in Willie. ;~)
