Lyrics
Have you heard the news
about the pretty young girl
needle hangin' in her arm
so tired of her fucked up world
Nothin' anyone can do
except look on with dismay
Her mom and dad are lost in their grief
Another story shattered
So full of rage...
It doesn't have to be this way
So full of hate
It doesn't have to be this way
Have you heard the news
About the handsome young man
Out of the sun he shone
Out of the closet he ran
His mother prayed for his salvation
He couldn't bare the criticism
With guilt and shame he blew himself away
Another story shattered
So full of rage...
It doesn't have to be this way
So full of hate
It doesn't have to be this way
Have you heard the news today
About the little boy who went out to play
didn't see the car come his way
Bullets flew then they sped away
Now in a pool of blood he lay
His mom and dad don't know what to say
His picture's on display in clay
Another story shattered..
(singing in tonge)
So full of rage...
It doesn't have to be this way
So full of hate
It doesn't have to be this way
