Lyrics

No bad news

Don't bring me no 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 want to 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
No we won't be afraid
And though the darkness may come our way
We won't be afraid to be alive anymore
We'll grow kindness in our hearts
For all the strangers among us
Until there are no strangers anymore

Don't bring me no 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
