On the radio last Monday, during his Johnny Cash tribute,
Arya played In the News, by Kris Kristofferson.
Read about the sorry way
he done somebody's daughter
Chained her to a heavy thing and
threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness with
their baby son inside her
A little piece of truth and beauty died
...
Burning up the atmosphere and
cutting down the trees
The billion dollar bombing of a
nation on its knees
Anyone not marching to their tune
they call it treason
Everyone says God is on his side
See the lightning,
hear the cries
Of the wounded in a world in Holy war
Mortal thunder
from the skies
Killing everything they say they're fighting for
Broken babies
broken homes
Broken-hearted people dying everyday
How'd this happen
What went wrong
Don't blame God, I swear to God I heard him say
Not in my name
not on my ground
I want nothing but the ending of the war
No more killing
or it's over
And the mystery won't matter anymore
We are children
of the stars
Don't blame God, I swear to God
he's crying too
Broken dreamers
broken rules
Broken-hearted people just like me and you
Not in my name
not on my ground
I want nothing but the ending of the war
No more killing
or it's over
And the mystery won't matter anymore
