A Little Good News (Duet. Indigo Girls)

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 we 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 We 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
