It's No News To Me

Ok I’m awake It’s a new day Presidents up to his same old ways I don’t know how much Iraq war cries I can take Please bring ‘um back the war was a big mistake If Bush thinks he’s dreaming, First Lady please shake him wake him up On the news all I see is corruption and destruction Politics always bluffin’ Police always hand cuffin’ Funeral Homes making a big profit Another John Doe Gun now and days are like pens in peoples pockets A dead girl or boy on their sibling’s pins or in lockets Robberies cause people can’t get money ‘Welfare just isn’t enough for me” Kids in Africa got diseases and they’re hungry “AID’s took mommy and daddy from me” Over there carving how many relatives they lost out in a tree Innocent blood shed In Iraq you got to make sure theirs not a bomb under your hotel bed People supporting abortions But throwing a babies out the window It amazes me to see cruelty this harsh Home of the free Yes to show homosexuality on TV Children growing up confused in this twisted world Turned inside out outside in Turning my stomach I think I’m getting sick again Child molesters, Gay protesters Everyone has their own thing going on In this world something’s always going wrong I tried to block it out, shut my mouth When I thought about what happened down south People were in wet circumstances Took chances to stay Houses, pets and families just washed away People praying and hoping for a better day When it happened I wish a big towel could fall from the sky To soak up every tear that was cried All these things are daily on the news turn your tv on and see It might be news to you but It’s no news to me
