No Bad News

Don't bring me bad news,
No bad news,
I don't need none of your bad news today.
You're a sad little boy,
Anyone can see
You're just a sad little boy
That's why you're carrying on that way.
Why don't you burn it all down,
Burn your own house down,
Burn your own house down,
Try to kill your own disease.
And leave the rest of us,
There's a lot of us,
Leave the rest of us,
Who wanna live in peace to live in peace.

I'm gonna find me a man,
Love him so well,
Love him so strong,
Love him so slow,
We're gonna go way beyond the walls of this fortress.
And we won't be afraid,
We won't be afraid,
And though the darkness may come our way,
We won't be afraid to be alive anymore.
And we'll grow kindness in our hearts
For all the strangers among us
Till there are no strangers anymore.

Don't bring me bad news,
No bad news,
I don't need none of your bad news today.
You can have my fear,
I've got nothing to lose,
Can have my fear,
I'm not getting out of here alive anyway.
And I don't need none of these things,
I don't need none of these things
I've been handed.
And the bird of peace is flying over,
She's flying over and
Coming in for a landing.
