Bad Religion - News From The Front lyrics

Blood is a river, Flowing darkly amidst the tangled roots of the tall shining city Crazy flowing mantide migrations Engorge the big ventricle of heartbroken America So many heaven hoping, hopeful groping breathers All tap together quietly and desperately in unison Hey, hey, hey, is anybody listening? News from the front News from the front We're living in troubled times So many fighting for their lives Why do the troops despise the news from the front? Ignorance is the root of fear Fear is the kindling of anger War is the bringer of shame But never has the burden lain so heavily upon the victim Rage and desolation Pain and loneliness Isn't it all alarmingly familiar? Hey, hey, hey, silence is a k**er News from the front News from the front Yeah these are troubled times How many more will have to die Before the governors can't deny the news from the front? Break down the barriers, ally the carriers, What is your motivation? Take a good look in the mirror News from the front News from the front So many are fighting for their lives How many more will have to die? Why does the government decry the news from the front?
