Merle Haggard - That's The News Lyrics
Suddenly it's over, the war is fin'lly done.Soldiers in the desert sand, still clingin' to a gun.No-one is the winner an' everyone must lose.Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.Suddenly celebrity is somethin' back in style.Back to runnin' tabloid for a while.Pain's almost everywhere, the whole world's got the blues.Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.That's the news, that's the news.That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news.Someone's missin;' in Modesto, an' it's sad about the clues.Suddenly the war is over: that's the news.Instrumental break.Suddenly the cost of war is somethin' out of sight.Lost a lotta heroes in the fight.Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues.Suddenly the war is over, that's the news.That's the news, that's the news.That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news.Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues.Suddenly the war is over, that's the news.
