In The News Lyrics - This Old Road - Kris Kristofferson

Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter 

Chained her to a heavy thing and threw her in the water 

And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her 

A little piece of truth and beauty died 

Burning up the atmosphere and cutting down the trees 

The billion dollar bombing of a nation on it's knees 

Anyone not marching to their tune they call it treason 

Everyone says God is on his side 

See the lightning, hear the cries 

Of the wounded in a world in Holy war 

Mortal thunder from the skies 

Killing everything they say they're fighting for

Broken babies, broken homes 

Broken-hearted people dying everyday 

How'd this happen, what went wrong 

Don't blame God, I swear to God I heard him say 

Chorus 

"Not in my name, not on my ground 

I want nothing but the ending of the war 

No more killing, or it's over 

And the mystery won't matter anymore"

Broken dreamers, broken rules 

Broken-hearted people just like me and you 

We are children of the stars 

Don't blame God, I swear to God he's crying too
