That’s the News

[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

[Verse 2]
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 1]
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 2]
That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-loving, blessed, headline news
Politicians do all the talking, soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over and that's the news
