Good News - Mike Love

Just gimme some good news

I’m done singing the blues

Wanna feel the sunshine

And remember a time

When there was good news

And we kicked off our shoes

And felt the rain fall

Didn’t need nothing at all

I remember when we were still young

And 20 dollars seemed like a fortune

Now money seems so important

Where did we go wrong

We gotta get back to those days

Where we could just sit and play

For hours with nothing but our imaginations

I wanna feel like a child again

I wanna regain my innocence

'Cause sometimes it seems like a lie

Everything we see through these eyes

We been so desensitized by television

Like products on assembly lines

They’re manufacturing our minds

When will we freeze frame and rewind

Back to a time

When there was good news

And we kicked off our shoes

And felt the rainfall

Didn’t need nothing at all

Just gimme some good news

I’m done singing the blues

Wanna feel the sunshine

And lose track of the time

Said it’s never gonna stop until we drop outta this rat race, take a taste from

the cup of redemption

Are we ever really gonna know which way to go to let it flow, oh now people are

you paying attention

Did I forget to mention, I got another question

Are you ready to move because

We’re grooving out of babylon, babylon is falling

Come on now people, we gotta follow Jah Love

If we’re gonna reach Zion above

In this technological age, everybody’s got a Facebook page

Whatever happened to face to face communication

So let’s all put down our cellphones and leave the laptops at home

Cause brother it’s been such a long time

So come on inside

I got some good news

I’m done singing the blues

Wanna feel the sunshine

And remember a time

When there was good news

And we kicked off our shoes

And played some kickball

Made a cup and string phone call

I just wanna remember

I can almost see it in my mind

Just take me back to a time when things were simpler

I just wanna remember

I can almost feel it in my heart

Just take me back to the start

When things were easier

Just gimme that gimme that gimme that

Good news, gimme some Love, I could never get enough of it filling me up

I wanna feel like a child again
