Suddenly it's over, the war is finally done
Soldiers in the desert sand still clingin' to a gun
No-one is the winner and everyone must lose
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
Suddenly celebrity is somethin' back in style
Back to runnin' tabloid for a while
Pain's almost everywhere, the whole world's got the blues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-lovin', blessed headline news
Someone's missin' in Modesto and it's sad about the clues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
Suddenly the cost of war is somethin' out of sight
Lost a lotta heroes in the fight
Politicians do all the talkin', soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-lovin', blessed headline news
Politicians do all the talkin', soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
