Slow News Day

How many times a pop star can go under the knife?
Seems to be the conversation makin' rounds tonight
And standing at the bar, two friends are lookin' for a fight
Over what the Bible says is wrong or right

When someone made a movie about Jesus on the cross
A journalism war of what is truth and what is not
Was all that they could talk about everyday for weeks?
And do you think that's how He wanted it to be

Lately, I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day

People are still good that I always will believe
But these it feels like everyone could use a little peace
Living in a world that's filled with fear and worry
It might be time for us to hear a different story

Lately, I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day

When I wake up I don't wanna see
Those headlines on the TV screen

Lately, I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day
A slow news day
