No Bad News - Patty Griffin

Don’t bring me bad news, no bad news

I don’t need none of your bad news today

You’re a sad little boy, anyone can see you’re just a sad little boy

That’s why you’re carrying on that way

Why don’t you burn it all down, burn your own house down, burn your own house

down

Try to kill your own disease

And leave the rest of us, there’s a lot of us, leave the rest of us Who wanna live in peace to live in peace

I’m gonna find me a man, love him so well, love him so strong, love him so slow

We’re gonna go way beyond the walls of this fortress

And we won’t be afraid, we won’t be afraid, and though the darkness

may come our way

We won’t be afraid to be alive anymore

And we’ll grow kindness in our hearts for all the strangers among us Till there are no strangers anymore

Don’t bring me bad news, no bad news

I don’t need none of your bad news today

You can’t have my fear, I’ve got nothing to lose, can’t have my fear

I’m not getting out of here alive anyway

And I don’t need none of these things, I don’t need none of these things

I’ve been handed

And the bird of peace is flying over, she’s flying over and

Coming in for a landing
