A little good news today
Anne Murray
I rolled out this morning the 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, need a change of 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 want 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 bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchorman 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 if 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…..
