Bad News Today
(Jim Quealy, Middle Room Music)

Got some bad news today
Winds of fortune didn't blow our way
When a loser finds a way to win
And the beginning of the end begins
Gotta find a way to make some sense
Confusion sets in when incompetence
Makes a case that it could lead the way
Wish I believed that it would help to pray

I could pray for miracles
Gonna take more than sheer will
To get that train of righteous love
Moving up that hill?

Got some bad news tI'm oday
Winds of fortune didn't blow our way
Lost the battle but the war goes on
Even after fragile hope is gone
It's just a tiny speck of history
The ultimate catastrophe
Waiting for us like a fateful crime
Around the corner at the end of time

We could pray for miracles
Gonna take more than sheer will
To get that train of righteous love
Moving up that hill?

Got some bad news today
Winds of fortune didn't blow our way
Now we're carrying a heavy load
Into the darkness on a crooked road
Between denial and complete mistrust
The longest night might be in front of us
Can't move back gotta stand this ground
Until a little bit of grace is found

We could pray for miracles
Gonna take more than sheer will
To get that train of righteous love
Moving up that hill?

Got some bad news today
Winds of fortune didn't blow our way
We gotta drive to where this tunnel ends
And move ahead until it's light again
