Lyrics
No News
No news about rock
No news about roll
No news about gangsters
Or their deadly toll
No news about models
No news about traits
No news about fashion
Or credit card rates
No news about diets
No news about pills
No news about desires
That gotta be filled
No news about stars
No news about fame
No news about guns
Or the NRA
Jesus just remind me
What it is I'm supposed to do
Jesus just remind me
What it is I'm supposed to do
No news about Christians
No news about Jews
No news about Arabs
Or light, sweet crude
No news about war
No news about hate
No news about fire
That the zealots create
Jesus just remind me
What it is I'm supposed to do
Jesus just remind me
What it is I'm supposed to do
'Cause it's late at night
And nothing's goin' right
We're all so all alone
Searchin' for direction home
Jesus just remind me
What it is I'm supposed to do
Jesus just remind me
What it is I was meant to do
Jesus just remind me
How it is that you love me true
Jesus just remind me
That no more news would be good news
No more news would be good news
