Good News - The Saw Doctors

Oh I watched the news at six oў‚¬"ўclock

It made me want to cry

The oceans are polluted, weў‚¬"ўve damaged all the sky

And thereў‚¬"ўs wars and wars and rumors

and a hungry baby cries

still we have to suffer

politicians lies

just gimme me the good news

you can keep the bad

just gimme the good news

the happy not the sad

youў‚¬"ўre money, it never goes

far enough these days

the rich just getting richer

the poor man always pays

the postman brings bad news

the bills come through the door

in those greedy little envelops

always wanting more

gimme the good news…

you take the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties

and you roll them into one

gimme the two sides of the story

the mirror and the sun

put away the misery,

put away the gun

its been a hard Oulў‚¬"ў century

there’s a better one to come

this is the good news…
