Tom Paxton - Ain't That News lyrics

I've got news of the very best kind About troubles that are falling behind About people that used to be blind Till they opened up their eyes to see It's news, when they begin to ask why They're poor until the day that they die They're tired of the pie in the sky And they want some security And that's news, news, ain't that news? Ain't that something to see? News, news, you talk about your news It's mighty good news to me I've got news about some ordinary men They heard it preached time and again To be patient and grateful, amen And "Don't agitate around here" They argued and they talked it around And they woke up and here's what they found Their voices made a mighty big sound Till they didn't know the meaning of fear And that's news, news, ain't that news? Ain't that something to see? News, news, you talk about your news It's mighty good news to me In a hazard they're meeting at night Organizing, and doing it right And planning for a hell of a fight And they sure don't aim to lose In New York the tenants said no The slumlord ain't getting our dough They're fed up and I want you to know That's the very best kind of news And that's news, news, ain't that news? Ain't that something to see? News, news, you talk about your news It's mighty good news to me That's news, news, ain't that news? Ain't that something to see? News, news, you talk about your news It's mighty good news to me
