A Little Good News
Anne Murray
Written by Charles Black, Rory Bourke, and
Thomas Rocco

Peaked at # 74 on the Pop chart in 1983 while hitting #1 on
the Country chart


I rolled out this morning
Kids had the mornin'
news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some
senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we
need a change in policy

There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber
band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd
like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin'
bad to say", because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of
town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a
shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good
news today

I'll come home this evenin'
I'll bet that the news will be
the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna
hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air,
how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was assassinated
in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the
children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old
USA
We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor
store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin'
down
FADE
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We
sure could use a little good news today
