Oh I watched the news at six o'clock

It made me want to cry

The oceans are polluted, we've damaged all the sky

And there's 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



you're 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 Oul' century

there's a better one to come



this is the good news......
