Bad News

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
