That's The News

(앨범: Haggard Like Never Before - 2003)

Suddenly it's over, the war is fin'lly done
Soldiers in the desert sand, still clinging to a gun
No-one is the winner an' everyone must lose
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.

Suddenly celebrity is something back in style
Back to running tabloid for a while
Pain's almost everywhere, the whole world's got the blues
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.

That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-loving, blessed, headline news
Someone's missin;' in Modesto, an' it's sad about the clues
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.

Suddenly the cost of war is something out of sight
Lost a lotta heroes in the fight
Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news.

That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-loving, blessed, headline news
Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news...
