I read the news today, it's over now
they talked about the war, it's over now
I had a dream last night about the final bloody fight
I read the news oh boy
I heard about a man, it's over now
the man who loved a girl, it's over now
and when the girl died I laughed at first but then I cried
I read the news, oh boy
and on the walk to the train, I gave the man on the corner a dime
and he said, I'll be sure to pay you back next timei
