Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen - Write your own version of this amazing song

Breaking News (lyttlejoe)

Breaking News

I sat and watched the news last night

Listening to their words with all my might

But it really made no sense to me at all

The reports were all of war and strife

Of wrecking land and taking life

And bolstered by a shout of Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

No talk of doing what was right

Instead of talk they'd rather fight

Please tell me what is gained with all this horror

Damage of assaults compared

Nightly tallies from what they dared

And from their lips they each shout Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I changed the channel, it didn't matter

The talking heads repeat the patter

Just tell the truth, don't bother trying to fool me

Admit that it has all gone wrong

There is no final victory song,

And no reason for us to shout a Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
