News of the Day

Starin' at the relics all around you
Siftin' through the ashes that you used to know
All of that on which you've built a foundation so dissolute
Strikes a chord and makes me wanna say

Here's to you Mr. Brokenhearted, hats off to my Lady
Downtrodden, besodden by the news of the day
Take it all with a grain of salt and
something strong to break the falling
Pieces all around you of a life led yesterday

And now that you've accustomed to the new scene
Reveling in what would have been dull before
You may have lost your Sunday suit and baser things now substitute
But you lived to turn another phrase

Here's to you Mr. Brokenhearted, hats off to my Lady
Downtrodden, besodden by the news of the day
Take it all with a grain of salt and
something strong to break the falling
Pieces all around you of a life led yesterday

And though the days drag on, longer still is the song
That rang out on Judgement Day
Still ringin' now we filter out what's meaningful and safe to save

Here's to you Mr. Brokenhearted, hats off to my Lady
Downtrodden, besodden by the news of the day
Take it all with a grain of salt and
something strong to break the falling
Pieces all around you of a life led yesterday
The falling pieces all around you of a life led yesterday
