Bad News Lyrics

I'd like to step into your house

So many people are there

They're drinkin', they're laughing

No sign of pain in the air

No sodden dirty things around

Your fingers white'n'clean

And when the party's over

You can dream American dreams

I-I wanna step into your house

'Mong those jackets and ties

Pig-headed politicians

Hidden behind compromise

Black dog barkin' in the garden

Who's that? a killer or a neighbour?

But I know it's time to go

So I'm jumpin' onto the table

Bad news I have to say

Sweet days are gone away

Bad news ringin' in your ears

God wishes you're shakin' in fear

And tears in your eyes

Didn't see no one, no compensation

Neverendin' crisis

No shelter from the civilization

Don't ya see the world?

Blood and death and violation

You tell me I'm mad

But it's a problem of your g-g-g-generation

And the bombs are fallin'

And the tanks are rollin'

And the wheels are turnin'

And the cities burnin'

And the birds are dyin'

And the horses flyin'

And the children gunnin'

And the cameras runnin'

And the dreams are ruined

All the dreams are ruined

But you're deaf and blind

I'd like to step in your house

To the land of authority

Your names in every headline

Stop it! you're killin' me

You talk 'bout the world without frontiers

World of credit cards

But you don't see the people

Without legs and without arms

I wanna step into your house

To tell the naked truth that

Europe would look so much better

If there wasn't you

What do I see? just the same

Old sufferin' with a new label

And I see it close to me

So I'm jumpin' onto the table

Bad news I have to say

Sweet days are gone away

Bad news ringin' in your ears

God wishes you're shakin' in fear

And tears in your eyes

Didn't see no one, no compensation

Neverendin' crisis

No shelter from the civilization

Don't ya see the world?

Blood and death and violation

You tell me I'm mad

But it's a problem of your g-g-g-generation

And the bombs are fallin'

And the tanks are rollin'

And the wheels are turnin'

And the cities burnin'

And the birds are dyin'

And the horses flyin'

And the children gunnin'

And the cameras runnin'

And the dreams are ruined

All the dreams are ruined

But you're deaf and blind
