A Little Good News

A Little Good News (2001 Digital Remaster) - Anne Murray

I rolled out this morning kids had the morning

News show on

Bryant gumbel was talking about the fighting in Lebanon

Some senator was squawking about the bad economy

It's gonna get worse you see

Need a change in policy

There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band

One more sad story's one more than I can stand

Just once how I'd like to see the headline say

Not much to print today can't find nothing bad to say

Because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town

Nobody od'd nobody burned a single building down

Nobody fired a shot in anger

Nobody had to die in vain

Sure could use a little good news today

I'll come home this evening

I'll bet that the news will be the same

Somebody takes a hostage somebody steals a plane

How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair

And how we cleaned up the air

How everybody learned to care

Whoa tell me

Nobody was assassinated in the whole third world today

And in the streets of ireland all the children

Had to do was play

And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA

We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town

Nobody od'd nobody burned a single building down

Nobody fired a shot in anger

Nobody had to die in vain

We sure could use a little good news today
