Merle Haggard That's The News

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Suddenly it’s over, the war is finally done
Soldiers in the desert sand, still clinging to a gun
No-one is the winner and 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

[Chorus]
That’s the news, that’s the news
That’s the ever-loving, blessed, headline news
Someone’s missing in Modesto, and it’s sad about the clues
Suddenly the war is over: that’s the news

[Verse 2]
Suddenly the cost of war is something out of sight
Lost a lot of heroes in the fight
Politicians do all the talking soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that’s the news

[Chorus]
