Cries
This is the song Ann Murray sings called "A Little Good News". I just changed the words to insult her. No disrespect Ann. Trevor
Somebody from Saskatchewan
said the News is on today
Somebody who has no experience
who thinks that hate is News today
Somebody with a fear of life
who says everyone can die
Somebody saying sacrifice
is all we are to why
How can I ever go to school
when the News thinks I am smart
How can I ever say to them
that I'm okay with all their art
How can I ever look them in
the eye and say I'm hurt
How will I ever know to be
a viewer with a dirt
How can I ever sacrifice
what I am meant to be
I'm just a viewer with
a penchant naturally
Take me to where the sky is blue
and the people not as New
I'll never say to them
that I will ever sue
I walk around and take my time
to ask for things
Not to the people in the power
that I am left to string
How can I ever vote for love
when they are saying all were lies
How can the News go on today
when I am growing so damn wise
Somebody in the News today
said I am known for my cries
