I never even heard of this song by Anne Murray, never heard it on the radio, but with bad news happening on the news these days, the lyrics seem refreshing.

Even Isis would probably like this song.

"A Little Good News" by Anne Murray
(Written by Charles Black, Rory Bourke, and Thomas Rocco)

Peaked at # 74 on the Pop chart in 1983 while hitting #1 on the Country chart


I rolled out this morning
Kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talking about the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawking about the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy


There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say" because...

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today


I'll come home this evening, I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchorman talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air
How everybody learned to care, tell me...


Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today


Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
