Don't bring me bad news, no bad news
I don't need none of your bad news today
You're a sad little boy, anyone can see
You're just a sad little boy
That's why you're carrying on that way

Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down
Burn your own house down, try to kill your own disease
And leave the rest of us, there's a lot of us
Leave the rest of us, who want to live in peace, to live in peace

I'm going to find me a man, love him so well
Love him so strong, love him so slow
We're going to go way beyond the walls of this fortress

And we won't be afraid, we won't be afraid
And though the darkness may come our way
We won't be afraid to be alive any more

And we'll grow kindness in our hearts
For all the strangers among us
Till there are no strangers anymore

Don't bring me bad news, no bad news
I don't need none of your bad news today
You can't have my fear, I've got nothing to lose
Can't have my fear, I'm not getting out of here alive anyway

And I don't need none of these things
I don't need none of these things I've been handed
And the bird of peace is flying over
She's flying over and coming in for a landing again
