Michelle Shocked - Good News lyrics

See a fat brown snake lay her eggs down in the mud Go slipping thru the swamp now, with a poison in the blood And a smokestack lightning, sparks are flying thru the air And when the dust gets to settling, see it lying everywhere This used to be God's Country, heaven on earth Peace in the Valley but now they call it Cancer Alley When Paradise is lost and the whole world gained When profit is the cost of a shame shame shame shame I've got some good news I've got some good news And I've got some bad news for you Now we know what we know still you do what you do But it cannot stand when my God is thru For when two or more have gathered in His name, He will be there So we listen for an answer, 'Make a way' is our prayer I've got some good news I've got some good news I've got some very good news
