In the News Lyrics

INTRO: D
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
Chained to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A little piece of truth and beauty died
Burnin' up the atmosphere and cuttin' down the trees
The billion dollar bombin' of a nation on its knees
Anyone not marchin' to their tune they call it treason
Everyone says God is on his side
See the lightnin' hear the cries
Of the wounded of a world in holy war
Mortal thunder from the skies
Killin' everything they say they're fightin for
Broken babies, broken homes
Broken hearted people dyin' everyday
How'd this happen, what went wrong
Don't blame God I swear to God I heard Him say
"Not in My name, not on My ground
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
No more killin' or it's over
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
Broken dreamers, broken rules
Broken hearted people just like me and you
We are children of the stars
Don't blame God I swear to God He's cryin' too
"Not in My name, not on My ground
I want nothin' but the endin' of the war
No more killin', or it's over
And the Mystery won't matter anymore"
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
Chained her to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A little piece of truth and beauty died
