Kris Kristofferson – In the news lyrics

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. Burning up the atmosphere and cutting down the trees, a billion dollar bombing of a nation on its knees, anyone not marching to their tune they call it treason, everyone says god is on his side. See the lightning, here the cries, of the wounded in a world in Holy war. Mortal thunder from the skis, killing everything they say they're fighting for. Broken babies, broken homes, broken hearted people dying 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 nothing but the ending of war. No more killing or its 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 crying too. "Not in my name not on my ground I want nothing but the ending of the war. No more killing or it's over and the mystery won't matter anymore. Rad 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.
